In running players laughing after two furlongs. If the Moore/O'Brien horse is fit its ridden near the pace. Been the same last two seasons, same goes for debutantes. Not much Moore can do about it if the trainer tells him that's how he wants them ridden.

Spot on, but this is the only place he is likely to be called out. Nauseating listening to tubby Timeform and Adele 'super this' and 'super that'.

Elise john makes a valid point, the greats majotiy of the time had a load of ones next to them in the form book. O'brien mob never really feel like they are punter friendly. often hyped up and fail to deliver. Was a Time ladcrooks bookmaker always seem to be in the know when they meant business or not. Rancid and ruthless operation with the best pedigrees.

But Lambourn was gifted the Epsom Derby, and won nothing since.

I think to run a horse when it's severely under-cooked esp a shortie fav is unprofessional, and being a total disdain to the horse's supporters and punters. I think this ought to be banned or a financial or short suspension imposed.

It’s not on, I agree, is it ok to criticise the goat?

A negative that he stays there for that trial, stays the trip well, means it’s a plodder!
