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.

He’s just a horrible excuse for a jockey, often unbalancing his mounts as he flails away at it

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.

Shirley the horse is just a bit of a dog? Three prior runs and a bets RPR of 64?

Equally poor speed ratings. She might prove me wrong at some point but odds-on (for what she has achieved in those three races) was surely madness today, even in a poor race.

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?

I'm not defending the ride j foxxx - but it was a terrible price all things considered. One of those races where you have no idea exactly what will beat it - but feel quite sure something will (at the prices).

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

2 wins from last 29 rides. 4/1 and 9/4F

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.

Godeend...lol ..backed it lto ...
