The numbers add up for Le Chiffre


I don't think there is any questions that he is the preeminent 16F horse in Photo Finish at this point in time.

His stamina and kick ratings are the maximum allowed by law, which makes him an extremely tough nut to crack at two miles.  With the tools he has, if he gets a clean trip, he is almost impossible to beat.  That was shown at the GR2 Diamond Stakes this weekend, when he loped to an easy 2L victory over Port Pirie's 5yo Y Am I Here.

Le Chiffre ran into some traffic and was momentarily blocked with about 4-5 furlongs to go, but was able to swing wide and get around the bunch up.  Once clear, he turned up the juice and cruised to victory.  Y Am I Here was closing at the end, but that was because Le Chiffre had taken his foot off the gas.

His next race will be the Melbourne Cup on April 2nd.

Mate his stamina number of 75 in Melbourne cup is the highest stamina number I have ever seen he was actually over the 161 number for the top speed/stamina numbers.... you need to speak to your vets ;) Congrats though buddy
