Yes I agree with that, but also his approach to last flight (and not for the first time in his career) not seeing a stride. He is not one I trust at all. I`m sure people remember over C/D last season on Swynmor

he did ride an ill judged race ....however , he wont be suspended for riding an ill judged race simply because the stewards have no authority to do that ..it isnt against the rules at this time . I suppose one reason is that they would be suspending half a dozen jockeys a race on occcasions . It is highlighted of course in this instance because it was a heavily backed favourite.

how can chapman not mention any of the above post race, instead saying mccoy was on the best horse in the race and would have hosed up but for a mistake at the last.
embarrassed for the lad.

I had no financial interest in this race but I have to say it was shocking. Berkeley Baron had won over further on a softer surface at Newbury and although held up that day,Johnson took it up 3 out. How he decided to hold him up 20 lengths off it today when the pace was a realistic one with the front runner finishing a head away in third is baffling.The mistakes at the last 2 flights were caused by taking off at the wrong stride which completely stopped his momentum twice and he still didn't seem to be giving it everything on the short run in on a confirmed stayer.
The ride was at best one of the most incompetent rides you're likely to see from a professional.

he has to go and look at today's replays and hopefully learn from what he sees. don't know if he was out last night but today certainly wasn't his best day in the saddle
