Can't say I watched the horse that closely, I was watching Harry Bentley on his horse, thinking what a strange ride he gave it.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31437323/david-egan?post_id=555230383#555230383Get your points.

I was being a bit extreme with the group horse scenario Dom but you get the point. Egan rode a very poor race imo. I kind of get your point about over 7f, and this horse probably wouldn’t have ever been placed, but riding it that wayhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31437323/david-egan?post_id=555230353#555230353Correct Fear.

Perfect scenario.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31437323/david-egan?post_id=555230321#555230321true but as a layer you LOVE to see the one you laid racing 3 or 4 wide.

If the horse is slow and has one gear, you would have no advantage dropping in, and better off keeping it going forward, without knowing the horse, it's impossible to comment.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31437323/david-egan?post_id=555230307#555230307@TallyDepends if it's just slow or not.

Would never have won, but surely on debut better to get the horse switched off with cover. Driving it forward so wide was always going to end in failure.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31437323/david-egan?post_id=555230249#555230249Agreed.

But when you have the horse 6 wide from the outset what chance do you really give it? I think a group horse running in a seller with a lot of runners would struggle to win covering that much ground.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31437323/david-egan?post_id=555230209#555230209Not saying it would have won or even placed Domino.
