DIXON just churned out most ridiculous saying in racing

To be fair to the guy (and I'm not a fan of his) I've regularly heard
a lot worse...such as 'whatever beats him will win' - WTF!

Yes...it's irritatingly trite but I'd suspect we've ALL used that glib
phrase and it does actually make sense in the right context with certain
horses - even at the highest level with 'rogue' performers.

“And there’s only ten lengths between first and last”.  Only?!  As if we all want/prefer our selection to be ten lengths last, even at an early stage.

13/2 winner there

Trainers and some pundits use the worst phrase 'lovely horse' ....if I had a quid for the times I've heard that said....

Often just before the lovely horse trails in near the rear of the field

what grinds me is a regular line from lisa o neil or kev o ryan.... "always well schooled coming the _____ yard" . It cracks me up when the belt the first hurdle like they have seen one before :)

I don't see a problem with the sense. He's saying that if the horse runs to the best of his ability he will beat the others, (rather than needing to improve on his best to win). If you're complaining that it's a trite and  lazy platitude, then fair enough, but there are many worse examples.
