Maybe so Pirho but if you are slow out then don't necessarily just be happy to sit last coming round the bend with that much horse underneath you, DO something to get in a better position to give yourself every chance of winning the race comfortably not lose by a nose. It happens so often in SA and yet again the best horse did not win because of a negative approach (and possibly some bad luck but should have made his own luck in this case imo). Should have won and imho jockey (or instructor!) needs to look at giving it a more positive ride. That said, good call Bayern (tu)

Euphoria for me, seems to handle to softish going and from a good draw.

The slow start and then being used up too early, I think is a psychological thing for horse, jock and trainer....they all know something is not right and they tend to over-compensate....

Give the horse a proper chance is all I'm saying Pirho. if your slow away but have "horse" beneath you, gradually get handy. It seems just to be a stereotype thing... slow away, sit last, charge off the bend, take your chances and hope it works out... surely some of them have a little more nonce than that??? lol Anyway, whats done is done, and I probably should not single out this one example, just disappointing to see it happen so often.

Home now and just had a little bet on Singing River in the last. Stable rates him very highly and that is good enough for me.
