Racehorse TALK

Well that's stupid when the best thing of the day went around in Rocking To Rio and duly saluted. 

Stewards questioned jockey S. Katsidis and trainer's representative Mr T. Edmonds regarding the tactics adopted in the early stages on POINT PAIN, where the horse was restrained to a position at the rear of the field, which appeared in contrast to the tactics adopted on the horse at its most recent start. T. Edmonds advised that the instructions were to ride the horse back in the field today, which he stated were similar to the instructions issued regarding the horse's previous run. S. Katsidis confirmed these instructions and advised that after being eased at the start, the horse overraced in the early and middle stages. Stewards noted the explanation for future reference.

Was the worst ride of the day yestreday by a long way.
Stathi never gave the horse a chance at all.
Strangled him back to last when the horse clearly wanted to go forward.
Still had him under a hold when last on straightening
How he thought he was going to make up that ground I don't know.
It seems as long as the foreman confirms instructions(even obvious losing ones) they can do what they want?

stutters corrected

J Cassidy on Stryker caught wide pressed on contesting lead kicked clear on striaghtening no surprise the horse ran out of gas over thye concluding styages DH 4th should have won imo.

Stathi Katsidis getting beaten on hot pot Road To Rock too far off the leaders and ran on well under heavy punishment for 2nd.

Why any owner would want him on in a big race is beyond me. 

Yeah I think he's over rated.

Was good to see Tom back up on Saturday and given every chance by M. Heagney got the cash 

Nearly double the odds of his previous run also 

Had this thread ready for Mascereri, Kerrin was on the rails right through the run so you could imagine my thoughts, and had to wait a bit in the straight, BUT got out rode it out well cheers Kerrin. 

tye angland on monton. barrier 1, was going to get the run of the race behind micmac- shellscrape. Felt the need to take off 3 deep outside leaders half mile from home. Slaughter of the first order, in gr1 no less.

I must have been watching the wrong race.

I saw him sitting back off the leader, one out, and given every chance.

I don't have the taping capabilities that others have.

I won't pinpoint 1 particular ride but M. Wood (a3) was off all day today.
Rode awful.
Looked like he had been on the drink last night.

you must have been watching the wrong race. have a look at the stewards report nit wit!

M Zahra on Kanzan an early candidate for today's award.

3 and 4 deep from barrier 6 at the 1350m start. That takes some doing. 

Brad Rawiller on Eight Bills must've thought it was a 1000m dash. Why set a fast speed in the lead with the favorite especially as it was run over the last couple of starts when leading? The first 3 home came from well back.
