Absurde Information
I think of the Ebor as the Geelong Cup. Once upon a time, it was a great guide towards the Melbourne Cup. Now, it’s just another staying race, and I suspect the 2023 Ebor will prove that to be the case again. He’ll stay, he’ll be popular with punters…but I don’t think he has the quality to win.

Key Replay: Ebor Handicap (2816m), August 26 2023, York, Good Surface
There was plenty of merit to this win given he was near the front throughout, doing work, and credit to him, he was entitled to knock up but he kept finding under Frankie to kick on and win. It was a very weak edition of the Ebor IMO and I don’t think the form will stand up.
