Bravo Dane - an absolute master class! No wonder you're a bit shy about about public interviews. Don't worry mate, you are not likely to get savaged by the ATR gravy slurpers. Forget the critics, they're only talking thru their pockets! How's Betfair Eddie doing these days?

Must have seen different race to me, horse was never on the correct stride and was flat out from 3.5f out and going nowhere from 1.5f out.

Hopeless ... why go up the back of horses... only pulled out to get a clear run when winner had flown.

Baffling how Hannon still gives him and Dobbs rides. The younger lads at the stable are miles better.

Domino, if you're suggesting that Jurran was ridden to obtain the best possible placing, then sir, I am so concerned as to your mental wellbeing that I consider it imperative that all financial decisions be immediately taken out of your hands and power of attorney be allocated to a person of impeccable propriety whose integrity could never be questioned - step forward Willie Shatter!

Add O'Neill to the list of Spencer and Cox who Domino has praised before so feels the need to defend at every opportunity. He only criticises when one of his tips loses.

ihal Essex;

At what point does Dane stop riding ? Is it when he is in a remote 4th 100 yards out, and ends up 6th/7th.

There is no point flogging a beaten horse when well beaten in 4th. He didn't stand up on it, he rode it hands and heels to the line. Yes he lost 2 more places by not keeping his stick up and battering it across the line, but if you're telling me you think that's acceptable then there isn't a single person who works with horses who would agree with you.

For what it's worth, I lost £100 on the horse, but I had no qualms with the ride Dane gave it. It simple just looked very slow to me.
