More than annoyed with the ride, whanker

You answered it in your question. Because he was smug. SDS knows it can be hard to peg back horses at Ponty. Mr Probert doesn't ride that often there does he.

Winner rated 9lb higher than the second  - what don't you understand?

bilbo, what has ratings got to do with how the race was run?  Probert should have got closer, i am not saying it would have won, but he gave the leader a few lengths and kept giving it a few lengths even when they were coming to one and a half out, then couldn't peg it back.

they dont always run to their rating bbb, colour vision was nowhere near that from last couple of runs and fire fighter is improving

bilbo ratings in slow run 5 runner races mean feck all,compared to the ride horses are given. De Souza gave his a good ride,Probert gave his a shocker
