Just saw Might & Power and Doriemus at the Living Legends retirement park in Tullamarine (Victoria). They both look great and I enjoyed patting both these old champs.
What a top race. I backed Doriemus that day. He was in front a stride before the post and a stride after. I was shattered. Lost a packet. Same happened with Bauer a couple of years ago in the Cup when he lost to Viewed (RIP). 'That's racing' as they say.
What about Markham's run. It was an awesome effort from an 8 year old with Midge Didham the 47 year old on his back. He finished less than a length behind the two champions. Awesome, honest effort. Go Markham. I had the trifecta that day. I still owe Markham a ton of cash. :-$
I agree about Doriemus being under-rated but any horse that can lead a race, especially one like this, and win deserves it far more than one sheltered that runs them down at the end! Go Mighty!
Lost my left testicle in this race backing Doremis, i really thought it had won and my heart was racing thinking i could now afford a divorce but it wasnt to be and 23 years later the wife still has my lefty in a vice like grip...F@%king hate might n power.

A great race won by a great horse. It still makes you excited to watch this again. Might and Power - Pillar to Post - Great Winner.

Great finish to a great race. I think that Doriemus was one of the most under-rated stayers to have raced in the last generation.
Saintly might and power and Doriemus all great stayers in the 1990s. Throw in Northerly Sunline and Octaganal as champions from that era.
