It was a great ride by the winner Quel as he has got an inferior horse a finishing position greater than it should have done, the reason it's poor by Ryan Moore is simply because he has done the opposite in as much as he has been on the best horse but got it beat. It's even worse in as much as they have frequently placed Strong suit over a mile and so getting after the winner earlier was hardly going to see him not stay the trip. This is an excuse that the other market leader could have had as he was potentially a doubtful stayer. I have no doubt if you could take Ryan Moore to one side and say do you think you could win if we ran that again, i believe he would say without doubt. He made a mistake and is as entitled to as we all are and all do but there is no doubt in my mind it was a poor ride.

Spot on Blue. I was going to have a large (fictional) chunk on Strong Suit but, thank goodness, chickened out as I thought it might have been just a bit too firm. Also I was expecting surprises today in that heat. Interesting that 3 year olds had won 3 of the last 4 runnings (I think) and that the trainer had a 24% strike rate in the last 2 weeks. So the commentator said after the race.
