So Gosden had just suffered a huge disappointment and near-miss, he gets door stepped before he's had a chance to have a good look back at it, but whatever he says in the heat of the moment must be absolutely bang on?

Just saying like ….

He'll watch it in the cold light of morning and if he's being honest with himself, he'll say we were close enough 2f out if good enough.
On the RTV coverage, quite a telling camera angle 2f out, because Shoemark absolutely had Buick covered at that point and looked like he could take him at any time. If it's a Zafonic, a Dancing Brave, or a Njinsky, they're winning by at least 5L from that position, but FOG couldn't quicken for toffee when it mattered. |

There is a very good reason why Aceform is a serial loser

You got a great imagination Cristy

Thats what i was laughing at Brave, Gosden will still be fuming choking on his cornflakes tomorrow while thinking about that ride...

Having watched it again i agree with George,he was right on top of him….
|
|
By:
he's also off the bridle 2 out as well & loses ground initially on the downhill before closing on the uphill last 1f
|

By:
I'd be interested to see if it was the dip and stride that just caught him out after he was looking to quicken, as like George says he looked like he was travelling all over Buick but then never picked up like you'd expect. No doubt if Shoemark threw the kitchen sink at him 2F out then and got pipped on the line people would say he went too early.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing and that's pretty much all Gosden was saying as anyone could see, Shoemark would have been handier if he had his chance again. Worth bearing in mind Gosden has never won the 2000 Guineas before and he has had some cracking milers. Hopefully this one keeps getting better. |

fota george good posts

in craven which was a slower race it was last 3f out..cruised closer and quickened to win going away..nothing different today where it didnt quicken going into the dip..it was close enough if good enough..wants 10f.
|
|
By:
Gosden never expected Shoemark to be a "Frankie" and he was correct
|
|
By:
certainly 10f on g/f rico, that bit slower ground for the april meeting 1m looked fine
|
|
By:
Shoemark went from cruising on it before he sees buick get away and he goes full on panic stations

The way Buick was talking after they think quite a lot of the winner, so might turn out they are both very good.

Can anyone teach CC how to quote a post please!?
|

Thats not working, what I said was the sporting life report of the race says he was ‘unbalanced in the dip’, as Shoemark was at that point flapping about like a crazed chicken I’m not surprised.

Well, everyone knows that sitting there posing and then half a second later looking like he’s thinking I HAVE FCUKED THIS UP.

AND NO, I DID NOT BACK IT

If we all saw things the same there would be no horse racing
|

By:
I'm not sure how long you have to be watching racing to not see that as a poor ride - even with a bit of hindsight - still crap. Not pocket talking as I had a sizeable bet for it to place, so already allowing for the numpty factor.

By:
I refer you to my previuos post Shooda

By:
The horse did well to finish 2nd. Not that it was any consolation for those who backed him to win. Next time lump on esp in the SJP next month. Any betting yet?
|

By:
Shooda....agree 100% re race watchers on here, it beggars belief but you will see tons and tons of those types of posts on here every single week. As frustrating as it is reading that nonsense it really is best ignored mate.
