Poor ride by Holland

Agreed

not agreed, was pushing for a long way.

The man has a clock in his head. Unfortunately it's 5 minutes slow.

had no interest in the race but the horse was never going , poor ride ? maybe

poor knowledge of the horse. always take a while to get going. needed to get it out and under pressure much earlier

poor ride hollands a clown

Holland's only mistake was to let MB find his stride in the first furlong instead of getting a better pitch 4th or 5th, by then MB was last and needed shoving along.  But that is nit-picking, horse took too long to quicken off a fast pace.

Holland is pish. You could make a case if you were desperate, to put him up on a front running type, but anything where there is a semblance of skill or thought needed, forget it.
