Agreed; absolutely shocking!

The jockeys know you cannot overhaul a half decent horse from more than about 2-3 lengths off the pace coming into ths Durbanville straight; the course is running too fast.

Where does he position the horse; last - in a seven horse field.

There is more I would like to say, but I could get banned!

i agree with you yeldah, last into the straight in a 7 horse field.. basically behind a wall of horses... had to switch out, left it too late although he was finishing like an express train. not his best ride for sure.

I'm also speaking from my pocket !

Just watched the reply, and Jess, if you are reading this, never put Bylevelt on your horses again; absolute con artist.

Should have walked in, but instead looks like he ran a hard luck second; rubbish.

He never wanted to win; classical ride. Jockey does not want to win [positions the horse last coming into the straight, then starts eating up the ground but runs up into the leaders backside and has to regain momentum and switch again],but if you watch the race, it looks as if he is trying....

BUT, if you REALLY watch it, well...a classical Garth Puller ride..

I will never forget going to Kenilworth one Saturday, and we were racing up the short straight. Tailwing blowing, and Garth comes into the straight 14 lengths off the leader, who keeps rolling and wins by a diminishing neck from a flying Mr Puller.

Still wet behing the ears, I say to Mr Puller after the race; "hard luck Garth, with a bit of luck you could have won", to which he replies "who said I wanted to"...

Personally i don't think it was ever going to beat Road To Reason
Bernie was posing coming through the 200, had a fat look over his shoulder 100m out, and then when DVL started coming he asked his mount for more and it found it readily. I didnt have a cent on the race btw.

Also DVL always comes from off the pace, and takes something of a ride before getting going, so i think the Byleveld bashing is unwarranted.

Disagree Dr Who.

Bernie's look over the shoulder was not "I am really cantering nothing can beat me", he's look was "oh sh*t, I hope nothing's coming, this horse has very little left"...

Take a look at Bernard's look over the shoulder on Bill of Rights on Sunday in PE, and then tell me its the same!!!
