eddie the show 'mebbe they went too quick'

Did he say that he liked the SDS first time on a sprinter angle?

Cuz SDS had ridden Rock Hunter at Ascot. Maybe I misunderstood what he was saying.

As far the race, fair observations about the three who came to the fore getting cover from the headwind and coming away from the rail, but Rock Hunter was into the headwind soon enough too and he's finished his race off reasonably well.

Maybe Hawaiian needs better ground?

i thort outsider cudnt win as brocklesbury form is sh1te..but fair dues its won on heavy and ran really well..fav was dire..mebbe the ground..but fred point was they didnt go quick..mine was 8L behind after 1/2f and had caught up after 1f.

According to going stick readings the straight course is more testing than the round course, and they are still weak 2YOs at this stage, and given how quickly they went clear early on from the eventual third, some effort was having to be put in on the ground which could easily find out an immature 2yO, particularly if the rail is harder work than the middle of the track.

So while I take your point that visually he didn't appear to be doing much, given the conditions maybe Eddie was making not an unreasonable observation.

watch the reply george and tell me they went quick..TIA.

Hugh Taylor, when he used to do his 'eyecatcher' slot on ATR and someone who analyses sectional times, used to say it never ceased to amaze him how often commentators during commentaries would comment on the pace they thought horses were going, fast, slow, whatever, and they'd be spectacularly wrong, and Hugh's point being, it's hard to judge with the naked eye.

But in this instance we're talking 2Y0s in May on heavy ground, so what might not seem visually a strong pace, and into a headwind, can find them out quickly.

i think i can decide with eyes whether they went quick or not..it was after all a 5f race.

Did you never think that none of them wanted to win the race.
