"My Lord and saviour" - had sod all to do with it.
Like the equally detestatable Drama Queens at the Oscars - and all that type of tosh. |

By:
Mendelssohn never going well,beaten at halfway and eased. Non-event really.

Why did connections of Mendelssohn bother? Moore was hopeless (again)!
|
|
By:
Winner unbeaten so it might be interesting to see how far he can go.
|
|
By:
Mendelssohn was badly baulked in the first furlong and was always fighting a losing battle after that !

Where did Moore finish? I never noticed his horse at all. Last I think. Rough race for Ryans mount for sure. |

Now there is another one at it.

Sparrow, I don't follow American racing on a daily basis and therefore know nothing about current form and horses, but I do know more about the history of this great race and all other major sporting events than most on here.
Someone had to start a thread, nowt cheeky about that.  I've been to the Kentucky Derby and See the horse in the photo next to my name, I saw it winning the triple crown, and not many can say that. Greatest horse ever, ok. |

Role on Pimlico in a fortnight. Will be interesting to see how he does there. With the races coming up so quickly, it takes a real Champion to win the Triple Crown.

By:
Poor old Ryan must have been praying to a higher authority than jesus as he was taking a hiding from either side in the early push for places......someone calling him "hopeless"??

Where will they go with M now?

By:
That was a BEAST of a performance from the winner.
|

By:
It sure was.

I do not understand why Moore seems to allow himself to get his mount into a non-winning and awkward position (regularly) in America at the off eg Seventh Heaven, Happily and yesterday Mendelssohn just to name 3 I I can remember. He needs to be more alert and better prepared at the gate eg plan and anticipate better.

It looks like the only way that Mendleson could 'run a race' - let alone win - was by leading, as at Meydan.
Not saying it could have with such tactics - and immaterial to me, as I will not bet on American racing. However - from that DRAW it obviously had NO chance of doing the above. Furthermore - Mendleson was completely knocked sideways, TWICE inside the first furlong - in a real rough-house of a start - and then running on that sloppy sh!te surface was a complete 'no'no' for the horse. |
|
By:
Moore is too used to the British way of dawdling out of the gate. You can do that on turf in the US but not in a good-class field on dirt unless you're on a world-beater and Mendelssohn isn't Secretariat.

It was very difficult last night but I would say the above is a reasonable summary. He isn't very often on the front end over here so he doesn't get that much practice at forcing the pace.
Early days but given his mounts he hasn't made the greatest of starts to the season. Was it just a handicap winner at the Craven meeting? |

another fav walk over.
