what was Havlin thinking ffs

Why ?

What else could he of done ? I backed sweet william myself I must of missed something

its a confirmed dodge that stops wen it hits the front and he's led 1.5f out.

I see you're point but I think he had no choice in this race

course he had a choice..sit still till 1/2f out.

my criticism would be that he hit the front too early and wasn't patient enough with the ride. still might not have won but would have been much closer at the line if he'd not rushed it to the front on such a long run in

Frank did same yesterday hoping people wouldnt notice

Work rider in silks,serves you right no sympathy…..

Ruined his chance by being preoccupied with keeping Hollie in thus going forward too early.

big difference dancing between a sprint and 2m.

The horse was challenging 1 out after trying to get the lead from 2 furlongs out.

He three wins have come after challenging from two 2 just like here.
Won 2.75 lengths
Won 3    lengths
Won 4.25 lengths.

He does tend to idle when in front. The difference on this occasion was, he couldn't get past the winner.

3 comfy wins were in h/caps.

Ran all the way to the line,didn't shirk nothing there in that.
That's 3 times he's been btn on his seasons debut now.

All the rest are genuine Group horses.

That was its problem today.

I agree with Dr Crippen.

he tried to kick on 2f out..should of just sat longer.

great example of a race showing you you have little chance really, just generally - all beaten each other in various different circumstances - whow would know whos turn it is today? Super tricky

Yes, reading through the form, Trueshan, Coltrane, and Quickthorn, have beaten each other several times.
