Duke Of Luckley...

another race that brings the sport into disripute

A bit of both but probably slightly more the others asleep

Has an excellent record when fresh, with form figures of 1111 after a break of 90 days+

Course record reads 4 wins 2 places from 6 Southwell outings.

Handicap mark of 114 is well within his capabilities

Ran just like when he won there before so the only thing to say is why was it running so bad on other courses

which makes it even more bizarre that the other jocks made no effort at all Rico..?

Not really. Other jocks (and punters, judging by the price) were misled by DoL's recent record of being pulled up in his last few races. In addition to the factors Rico named, DoL was also top of RP's Topspeed speed figures. Nothing sinister imo.

levelbreak,,meks nee sense how it was 10/1

anyone else comes out with that ^^^^ 10 minutes after it's won you'd be on here calling them a fookin aftertimer, sticking up a picture of a clown and saying thats them, and asking them various questions about their genitalia.

They're jockeys ffs, they aint gonna put the homework in like Rico.

most horses that go 20L clear finish last...

now n then they win.

Rico has got some posters dangling on his string here.

I don't think they've read the best bet thread

The horse goes well fresh, lower weight, course winner, young kid given to much reign. No jockey wanted to be the one to bridge that gap, one of those odd races, had no bet so maybe easy for me to say.

blame when a race goes like that is on the one at the head of the peleton.  in this case S Bowen
the others in behind are following him, they haven't got a clue whats going on up front.  they're trusting him.
so when they pull out to overtake S Bowen, and realise they're 30 lengths behind with 2 furlongs to go.  they realise they shouldn't have been following S Bowen.

You think one horse in second place blocks out the view of all the other jockeys, seriously?

wud if Gemma Collins was the jockey.

She'd have to be riding a shire hoss

The winner had become well treated and it is entirely possible that anybody trying to lay up would have made little difference to the outcome

ridden many races Saddo ? 

me neither, but i'd imagine it's not quite as clear cut as it is on the tv when you're tucked in behind

if you've got Sean Bowen in front of you, you're not worried about the one 20 lengths up the road.

cos neither is he, and he rides 20 thousand winners a season.

and he's on the red hot jolly

I think if I was in third or fourth I'd know how far
off the leader I was, you suggested they didn't.

have a look next time they do jockey cam at Ascot and see how much you can actually see when you're riding a race. 
slightly different to Rico sitting at home watching his drone footage.

I don't need to, I've watched races for over 50 years. Ridiculous to suggest that
only the jockey in second place can judge what's going on, give your head a wobble.

Sometimes you do wonder and question what is going through their heads while you are watching a race , I always felt the majority have a pack mentality

Seem it loads of times where the jockey at the head of tbe peleton has fkd it up royally and those in behind have paid the price.  That was just another example although having watched it again I believe S Bowen did try to close up down the back but he was sitting on nothing.

Go put tomorrow sad one and ride a horse flat out.  Get your mate to ride one in front of you.  Come back and tell us what you could see 50 yards in front of ya mate. 

Fork all.

Give it up ffs, you're boring enough without digging this particular hole any deeper.

I was actually there. I most certainly didn't back it,but I think Rico's comments are spot on. Some of the others were struggling quite a long way out and could not get near.
Judging by its record the winner is an obvious lay next time out.

I was at Ponty and 2 fellas in the betting office there were shouting this horse like there was no tomoz!!!

Ignore its recent record and look at its overall profile and it was a great bet...but then it would never have been the price it was without the poor last few runs....such is the intellectual challenge of racing and why us long-termers love it so much!!!

It's chances were obvious to IDKW if you look at his TODAY'S BEST BET thread. 3rd June 14.04 last post
That's where Rico plagiarised his comments from.

Course record reads 4 wins 2 places from 6 Southwell outings.
