You're assuming he has a horse that's good enough for that to matter. That ride was just adequate to win. Not bad. Not good.
Ideal finish As they come to the last it's Annie Power coming to challenge Big Buck's and More of That. Annie Power lands in front and it's Annie Power beginning to assert from More of That. But Big Buck's hasn't given up and is battling back. It's Annie Power from Big Bucks, Annie Power, Big Bucks. The champion is beginning to get up. Annie Power, Big Bucks, Big Buck's Annie Power both flat out, Annie Power fighting back. Annie Power, Big Bucks ...... Photo. And here is the result ............................. First ............ No 2 Deafening cheer, emotional scenes as STD stands high in the strirrups, saluting the ecstatic crowd
Once BB was beaten I was on the edge of my seat cheering Annie but good to see 2 unbeaten horses fighting it out. 2 unbeaten horses fighting it out. Good for the future.
The machine is beaten. Should have been in the Champion- she has so much pace. No need for 3m as a 6 year old. Ger her in the Arkle next year, they won't touch her.
Didn't play in this as I had no idea how it was going to play out. Glad to see Zarkandar run a respectable race.
AP just didn't stay well enough. Actually really liked More Of That (put it up in my write up) before AP chose AFC and didn't back him. Big Bucks just isn't the same horse and I think he'll be retired now after that.
