Fighter's Spirit - Orr

find it hard to believe suroor told him to make the running.

Why? I didn't say he did. The implication was that he would sit second, certainly not boxed in behind the lead in fourth. After the race he was talking about stepping the horse up another two furlongs.

was close up for most of the race,just got caught short of room 2f out,won comfy..it happens.

If you want to just ignore poor rides because 'they happen' then that's entirely up to you. I flagged it because some apologists will say a jock was riding to orders. Well, on this occasion he wasn't. If you are riding a horse who potentially wants a couple more furlongs you don't want to end up with traffic in front of you. Even if he won cosily on the line, he should never have found trouble in the first place.

Half cooked first time and should have won easily last night,rider gave the horse a hard time…..difference between what you get nowadays compared to Dettori…..

And the grade 3 looked silly close home all that snatching,almost nailed…

i konsidder myself a great driver..occasionally i get stuck behind cars.

Whilst Orr is very much still riding for the Fahey yard, it would seem he's not automatic first choice anymore (if he ever was). I thought it may partly be to do with what minimum weight Orr can do, but then noticed him riding recently at 8-12 for an outside yard.

Incidentally, The 'Captain' and Josh on the unmissable The Verdict were all over Fighter's Spirit following his Beverley debut win, something like made up 50 lengths from the rear and ran the last furlong in seven seconds flat. Unbelievable, Jeff.

Given that, doubt Orr was too concerned about finding a bit of trouble in running, got out and even had time to ease up in the final strides.

Trainer couldn't have made it more clear that he wanted the horse ridden for stamina, but he holds him up

held up in 3rd/4th?

not sure if their tele's are super widescreen but never more thsn 7-8L down.

double today @ beverley

'Not too concerned'? I suspect wetting himself was nearer to the mark. If he is so quick why is the idea to go a further two furlongs? I would take Bin Suroor's thoughts over grandad and the schoolboy.

Didn't think I needed to state the obvious, but you can hold a horse up in second. The key on a horse expected to stay further is having daylight in front of you.

If the jock had gone through the card it's totally irrelevant to the race in question.

Thanks for educating everyone you misery, I’m sure that you feel good that Stephen King wrote a book and dedicated it to you via its title!
