What was that? The trip and ground shouldn't have been an issue. On his last run he seemed drop away and rallied under a strong ride. Here it seemed Bowen didn't want to do anything but ride him on the bridle. He was dropping away, and even then he didn't even try to shake the horse up. Not sure how he has come in for these Irish rides. He rode Carrigmoorna Spruce at the Festival and that was equally as bad.
As if bookmakers needed much help after the Festival. Over confident Skelton beaten by a positive ride on a rag in the previous race, and now this result. Can they get a cake big enough for the icing.
