A little ew fo me in the next at windsor at 9/1 croquembouche could get close in this tough little race not normally my cup of tea but we will see
Just lent £4k off the local dealer it's all on Rosie Probert she looked not too bad LTO winning nicely at Ffos Las last time, should be more to come.
Grim isn't it, 3rd then 2nd so we're due one just taking out 10 wonga loans in different aliases and it's going on Miss Cap Estel to get me back in the black If not it's a taxi to Runcorn bridge
Not my night tonight 3rd and 2 seconds, may have to knock it in the head for tonight and lick my wounds
Bob i wouldnt say that at all did you not see Inkerman get knocked about and blocked in, once it got out it made really good headway to finish close up. It would be the one to take from the race for me, thought was very unlucky.
Getting blocked or doing the blocking is race riding STH. Lordan should have won the race on what looks the clear best horse but Fran Berry outdid him during the only part of the race that really mattered.
I've seen the race 3 times and Inkerman was just unlucky. You also need a lot of that to win in horse racing. You backed the horse so maybe have a more tainted view than me but thats just what i saw.
I think you're missing my point a bit. In football if Messi does something awesome is the defender unlucky or has Messi just done something exceptional? Doesn't the same apply to racing? Berry's ridden Lordan to sleep. If you swapped the jockeys round you'd get a different result.
But you wouldn't Bob its just the way the race panned out how could Wayne lordan know tjat at the exact time he looks to pop out for a run that a horse will come upside and knock him about? He isn't a prophet. I'm just saying that Wayne Lordan didn't do much wrong there and incidents like that happen frequently every day in racing. Doesn't matter nnow anyway i just see it differently to you. And its not really the same applying something Messi does on tje ball to how a horserace unfolds.
I think it's a fair analogy. Saying Berry's out ridden Lordan doesn't mean Lordan has to have done anything wrong (although it was fairly clear he let himself get blocked when riding the best horse). All it means is that the better riding of one prevented the other from winning. It's looking fairly likely you'll not agree because I don't think we're talking about the same thing here. Lets leave it.
