Spent first 2F getting it as far back as possible

No. He made a very large meal of that.

Backed it myself , never had a chance to collect , Champion ride. 

No ride by the best jockey in the world should be criticised, unlucky to get so far back, got trapped behind the field, never gave the punters who backed him a chance. Richard Fahey must be delighted he booked him for the ride !

As for Mapletoft saying it was struggling at halfway. Was he watchin the same race?

Would you give any credence to what Mapletoft says on any subject?

Fair point

Soapy, brilliant synopsis
