s bowens done skelton there

THAT right there, is the difference.
Switch the jockey's Fav wins by half a dozen.

Not sure what Skelton was waiting for to make his challenge before the last - looked very average to me

Only race Ive seen today and after I immediately thought to myself that the biggest week of them all ie Boyce will make up some excuse for Skelton. Apparently the horses' jumping was the reason it lost, and not Skelton taking a pull up the straight and trying to be clever.

I agree 12ST and 3M 2F are the main factors to **NOT** ride it clever like that!
Did Skelton think he'll have a finishing kick of a 6F sprinter? Just poor...
