The Fly beaten before the start of the race ??

beaten by a poor ride

That's what you get with montjeus,one day their world beters the next they run like drains

very poor ride..would usain bolt jog the first 100metres in a 200metres race and expect to make 10metres in the last 100m??..why do it??

Can see where you get your view from Geoff but I really think some of these horses were beaten at the start by being sent to the start so early ?

5-6 mins before the start is just stupid.

Wouldn't suprise me if he was a non trier.

think you'll find hurricane fly sweated up more before the race last year

Run the race on a different day and there will be a completely different result but thats racing. You get one shot in championship races.

Will Rock on Ruby be a massive champion cant say that I really think so.

Could have been one of the worse champion hurdles in history ruined before the race started.

Wouldn't suprise me if he was a non trier
you ass hole

why the **** do you leave these people on here

Rider is correct.He sweated up last year worse than this year and thats confirmed by the RP analysis of the race, and the horse was
the recpient of a poor, ill judged ride IMO

good job we dont come on here and read shot like this too often by a duck head like mike-lfc

It kills hearing people bleating , trying to find excuses because things didn't turn out quite the way they had envisaged. And you have to ask yourself, just how good was last year's Champion ?  For those of us who compile their own speed figures , there are grounds for arguing that 2012 Hurricane Fly was better than 2011 Hurricane Fly.

Different going, different result, would be my guess.

I do think Ruby could have ridden a better race, nothing was coming back yesterday and probably very overrated anyway.
