I dont think he elected to go wide,he just couldnt control the horse

i agree I think he has enough experience not to do that on purpose
sometimes persons on this forum is quick to judge
judge,jury and executioners all in one .

Hi clan

Just gotta look in now

Anyways here's my 5cents

R4 Fort bukloh, Jet juggernaut
R5 Caprisa, Jump and away
R6 Marcant, Kambrook

looks like fortune couldnt control the horse...........i backed Relentless Woman, so i knew immediately my fate was to tear up the ticket. Very funny ride by Fortune though if he did elect to go wide....

Just got back from Durbanville ... Andrew did NOT elect to go to the outside, horse had a bloody mind of it's own :

Shot Magi.........i did look like that was the case around the turn, but i only had 1 chance to watch the race....

PS - i got 4.2/1 on the Master Barry place bet><

Let's hope so, Felix riding well and I hope he goes to the front very early in the straight...

Hold on to yer hats...got a feeling Andrew will now come storming through to grabthe win on Katrushka with a flawless ride....any bets???

The horse has a history of doing this ALL THE TIME whether it is at a gallop @ Dbnville or in a race, which is why she races @ Kenilworth mostly and if anyone bothered to check her only other Dbnville run were Aldo tried to get her over from a bad draw but was unable to they would have been aware of this :S:X critc is all good and well but at least take the time to check out the facts b4 having a go
