11/4 >> 11/10 and easy lead

The whole game is lol ..

10 lengths clear at the first fence. Draw your own conclusions.

Said it on the Nolan thread. Never wanted to get close and the winner could even get a breather in under no pressure whatsoever from the second.

presumably the RTV punditry team commented on this...

oh hang on

they actually did hibs - well Machin did

soz Steadman did

Machin is at Warwick...

the easy lead race was at Exeter...

did he ?

crikey...

what did he say smirnoff ?

stressed he didnt have an interest in race but questioned easy lead given to winner amongst other things

crikey...

fair play to Steedman then...

did ex jockey Lizzie kelly have anything to say smirnoff ?

come on small  steps

she was more on the fence tbh - didnt want to criticize when prompted by Steadman and was trying to offer excuses - nowt more than you wud expect from her

in her finest plummy voice
kelly said
ONES GOT TO EAT

which is exactly why folk like her shouldn't be given gigs by RTV smirnoff...

clearly has a conflict of interest...

not good enough from RTV quite frankly.

ive not even seen the race . but judged on betting patterns alone and r . p. close ups how can they not ask a question ???....if we get rid of the ex jocks, daughters, etc we get no interviews as they close ranks . so what . think of the best footballers in the world who get slagged off and still pitch up a week later on tv . why is racing so insular and sensitive ?

Couldn"t see anything wrong there .......the other two were not quick enough or jump well enough to lay up with the winner.......best horse won comfortably........end of....

Skip spot on, winner still had a lot left at the Finnish,  other 2 couldn't go the pace.

These AW jump races

If the first horse was 10 lengths clear at the first, the best spin you can put on it is that the jockey of the winner was motivated and the other two jockeys weren't switched on or they thought the winner set off far too fast.  then it moves to unprofessional, then it moves to disinterested and then it moves to complicit.  The fact it would've won anyway is immaterial.

jump starts are a farce ..cannot see why they can"t just line up like the used to do........
