Gin that is what a Great rider does, when you are on a "good thing" you ride them like a good thing, George Moore always said if you can go around them then that is what you do, to try to take inside runs on a horse that can travel wide is stupid and risky
in saying that I have not seen this race, very little interest

Talking with Lettsy last week he assured me the outcome was a "surprise winner".

They just had a replay on CH7. They were true to form on one aspect. The Diva got the sweetest ride you'll ever see AGAIN nowink Near last on the fence approaching the turn & magically eases out into the clear to charge down the outside Sure G Boss would be proud of that ride noteworthy   lol

For those that missed it:



Couldn't be too dissapointed with the top 5 (Rising Fast 5th).

Beadman on Saintly needs a good talking too - FFS did he think he was on Zipping or something?  lol
