@pirhobeta you mention when he is in the zone... Agreed and those are the days when you fete guys saying what a great ride.... But all to often you left wondering how a horse ran the way it did. Oh and yes I do agree that Marcus is a better pro. The main reason mike de kock told me he rated Anton so highly is that when he is riding for you, he always makes sure he is always placed ahead of his dangers when the gates open.

He didn't bother to ride him out. Where are the stipes to see it?

Would interesting to hear Paul Peters thoughts on the ride or if something was wrong with horse.
