They tried it at a mile and it didn't stay (or was not good enough) They put a huge noseband on to try to keep its head down and stop it pulling its chance away but that didn't work. Gelding or a tongue tie might help but I fear the horsehttps://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31803471/never-gave-it-a-prayer-buick?post_id=563162563#563162563Not at all.

If that was true then the sport is in a total mess if the biggest operation can just play silly buggers with an odds on shot early on a Saturday.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31803471/never-gave-it-a-prayer-buick?post_id=563162445#563162445So rather than the champion jock producing another duff ride, Godolphin were just taking the piss?

Let it stride on over that sprint trip was of course the answer.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31803471/never-gave-it-a-prayer-buick?post_id=563162435#563162435Think a big problem with the jockey's positioning was that it also meant yanking it back behind a wall of horses, which is clearly wasn't enjoying doing and ran free, being restrained.
