Back at Gero again the handicapper had pushed Dog up to 61kg. In the small field we were not confident it would be a truly run race and a test of staying. As we expected there was no pace on, and it turned into a sprint home. The handy mare Classic Piece (who 2 years later one of dad's best mates in John Foster purchased in foal) got up with 57 1/2 kg proving she would be a tough competitor in the Gold Cup just two weeks away. The Dog started in the red at $1.7 which was well under the odds for the field size and his weight.
