Thanks for the lay Luke.

He rode that as if he was taking an epiletic fit,

It bowled along at Beverly and made two superior rivals work hard to get past.

You really have to wonder about the logic of then letting it pull like a train behind lesser beasts.

It was still reefing and pulling after 4 furlongs.

Given the two market rivals were also unraced, experience alone would have allowed him to pinch a few lengths had he bowled along.

It was incompetent and unintelligent race riding to such a high degree it bordered on criminal.

There's a smidge of logic in there Management but the problem is...

1) What won the race? A horse clearly inferior in RPRs/TSs achieved so far. So how did it win it?; and

2) Are you really suggesting the fav wouldn't have done better if allowed to make all like the last day where a 78 rated rival was 2nd?

38 winners from 458 rides this year (8%) -£108

Oh absolutely agree on your general premise. A poor selection given its level of achievement. You'd usually want another 10lbs on the pre-race RPR to feel comfortable.

The only issues though l are in this specific instance, how ropey was the winner so far and did the fav get a terrible ride.

Plus every reason to believe fav would step up from it's turf debut where it performed with merit against better animals so it wasvthe best of a bad bunch- but by some way and with reasons to expect better.
