How's that ride on Sir David Baird.

I think that Murray should be sanctioned for that ride. Was just looking for the opposition and got beaten!!!

Darkest Hour having it's 8th run makes up 6L on Sir David Baird having just it's 2nd run.

Would love to hear the jockey's explanation for the ride on Sir David Baird, that's just not cricket.

Guessing has never been widely acclaimed as a good gambling strategy.

Wasn't the best I must say but when he asked the horse it had nothing to give.Should have just sent the horse about it's business.Even Barend Botes(trainer of the winner)just said the second horse will always beat them from now on so even he thinks the ride wasn't that good.

An immediate eye-catcher because of his name and his debut lived up to it. Showed the turn of foot that smart horses possess. Was quite some way back if you watch his debut, but once Murray asked him, it was only a matter of how far. Should relish the step up plus the Standside shouldn't really be a problem. What he lacks in experience, he should make up for it in talent.

The only danger is Surcharge who isn't one to take lightly. He's a good sort himself and maybe box an exacta as the saver but with him giving Sir David Baird 4.5 kgs - I'm firmly in the camp of the latter. Good race this.

Only danger scratched,oh wait another danger the jockey.Callan Murray is so much better than this,just inexperience I think.

I always make it a point never to blame jockeys, it's racing and these things happen. Murray will make it up in the future. On to the race itself...

SDB travelled very smartly and I expected Murray to ask him at the 300 to extend but he seemed to see how far he could win by without asking the horse to work. Then when Darkest hour ranged up, it was far too late for the horse to get into its stride when Darkest Hour was already alongside.

Will need another run to judge.
