Not on today's evidence. Rode too far off them at Ascot and was never able to pick up from that far back on soft ground? Moore obviously was given the orders by the 'Lads' today don't give him too much rope this time. And in fairness he didn't, though he nearly got himself in a pocket 2 out but he had the horse underneath to get him out of bother. Great race and can be no excuses from anyone this time.
Guess that's one way of looking at it. Today was a great race, and of course, no excuses. First three home were terrific.
Horse fell on the first circuit and when they came round again they had to go around the obstacle which led to one slipping on the bend and taking out another. Looked really bad but it would appear all horses and jockeys have got up. Battered and bruised but ok.
Charles Byrne's can land a gamble and they've punted the socks off Sea Light in the next at Galway today.
YALTA - Boooooom I hate posting bets but just to prove to some people I'm not after timing - makes up for Silver Concorde blowing out Sorry I didn't post it! I like other people to win aswell (only when I do tho - joking
Oh Davy Rusell - you absolute tool. What a stinker form the jockey. I put up a thread ages ago about how much i disliked the chap as a jockey and today feels like vindication. Unlucky if you backed him boys. Dreadful ride.
I can't quite get over that. Such a terrible ride when he must have known the money was well and truly down. I suppose it begs the questions what were the yard thinking putting him up top.
That last bend into the straight doesn't look wide enough at Galway. Need to be out front coming down that hill to avoid the carnage.
