should've put it to bed skelton

a total fkin imbecile 2nd

He wanted to get the aeroplane out as it looks good, just get upside at the last rather than a length behind

Lost it between the last 2 rather when Jack out rode him

This is one ride you can criticise.

Think after the 2nd out you should push on and see what you've got.

Just because you've got a skelton horse seemingly travelling it doesn't follow that there is anything in the tank, it's a feature of a good few Skelton horses that they find less than seems apparent once they come under pressure, BDA hasn't a turn of foot but gallops right to the line ad there's every chance he wouldn't have out battled her,

Remember he travelled all over Nemean Lion but took forever to get past it once let down.

Weren’t a good ride and agree he’s not a top but the horse is one paced.

Skelts didn’t sound confident that he’d of won when just asked, said he’d have to look at it!

I’m sure he’ll love seeing the criticism!

Horse didn’t have a lot left, if he has to look at back, can’t have felt anything can he?!

When he walked the track he would have seen the rail appearing between the last 2.

BDA flattened the second last herself, other than that she jumped brilliantly, TNL didn't get away from  the 3rd and 4th as well as not getting any closer to the winner.

saw from the inside side on camera the 2nd closing all the way to the line despite bungling the last
...was a terrible ride on a known galloper

Poor ride, HS  must have known its do or die going up the inside as the rail comes back out, looked at best a half hearted attempt to get inside JK,once the door was closed that sealed skeltons fate....after the poor ride he gave it in the CH that might be the last time skelton rides TNL again.

That's how you do it

For me in his chases he often commits too soon, how his if fav for a 4 mile chase I’ll never know!

Think he can steady himself and save anything for the gruelling run in? I don’t!

If he gets a whiff he’ll be like a bloke on his first time, get too excited and shoot the bolt! 

For me he does more often than not.

How I he is fav to hold one back and not get too excited over 4 miles is beyond me

* How he is fav

I don’t envisage him being not able to get too excited and hold anything back for that gruelling run in.
