Skelton - Double Measure

That should be hauled in for stewards, no way that was attempting to get best possible position - could well have won it.

1st race was equally tender...hands & heels for 2 horses challenging strongly for the win

Yep, compare to some of his finishing rides when he really wants it, i.e. the money.

Choked it at the start too. Big drifter. Very dodgy yard sadly stu.

If stewards do any kind of job, they should look at this.

Being near the win at the finish should surely make it a 'case' to look at

there doesn't seem to be an economy of effort in the saddle when fatty has bet them

Flinging and carrying them over the line then, yes...

Now you have Kadastral which is a beautiful price if it's here to run it's race.

Hmmmm

Not quite as close at the finish then...

Very kind ride

The favourite relentlessly backed all day, never in doubt !

Perhaps he should have given the horse a hard time in order to finish a slightly closer second

I was on The Blue Room in the opener but I have to commiserate with backers of
Double Measure...as that didn't look too good - and that's just been followed
with another lamentable effort on Kadastral - he seemed to ride that with zero
urgency...always being 10 lengths behind the odds-on front running fav.

You actually think that could have won Herbie

Few on X (twitter)  giving it to harry for the non try on double measure

They should, but more important so should the stewards

I agree, will continue unless stewards start doing something about it..... wont hold my breath

If it was an apprentice jock for a small stable, I'd bet good money they would enquire, but this one, like you say...

UTI - I didn't remotely suggest that.
I said it was ridden with zero urgency and that is obvious.

Double Measure didn't look good but perhaps the Wnr caught him out by finding
more than he thought.Doubt if he'd produced him at the last like he did if
he didn't want it.
Kadastral was just hammered by a better horse.

Kadastral was given a perfect ride for improvement next time.
The Owner should be delighted

Just to be clear, my post was only about the Double Measure ride, regardless of his other rides today.

What a difference being backed makes ay..?

filth.

Money down, wins as you like

And 'slightly' more effort don't forget AR.

told you...if fatty is on its v different

contrast to the non jiggers middle of the track & no whip

Is it any wonder more people bet on other sports

His rides have been perfect example of 'rancid' today

oh its rancid but it is so blatant & predictable you can play to SP or later & still be on the right side of them

Great ride that one
