\u201cHe\u2019s not just restricted to wet tracks,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s more that he can handle the wet while others don\u2019t seem to handle it as good as him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s just as good on top of the ground as he is on wet tracks.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since his last metropolitan triumph in July, Super Duck was placed at Eagle Farm and finished second in the Murwillumbah Cup before a last start fourth in a 1615-metre Benchmark race at Doomben on September 6.<\/p>\n
The Murwillumbah Cup performance qualified Super Duck for the $3 million The Big Dance over 1600 metres at Randwick on Melbourne Cup Day in November.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s super fit and we\u2019ve never had him as fit as we have him now,\u201d Hemmings said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe should be hard to beat again and if he runs well, he\u2019ll go down for The Big Dance.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he misses the race for some reason then he can still run in The Little Dance.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Little Dance will be run over the same trip and on the same day as The Big Dance but with a $500,000 prize pool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cHe\u2019s not just restricted to wet tracks,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s more that he can handle the wet while…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":146734,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[3004,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-146733","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-racing","tag-racing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146733","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146733"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146733\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/146734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
