Milton allowed that much rope (not as if it runs any other way)

Great advert for SA racing what a bloody disgrace

Top ride on the winner and poor rides on the rest

Seen it attempted and working out in every racing country on the planet , hardly a disgrace!

I backed the runner up and I think it would have won if Milton had its usual jockey on board..
Full credit to Dillon for the ride.

This heading needs changing,Sham is used as a proper noun as if used to denote the trainers name.It has nothing to do with them.

Personally I'm just glad Easy is a poster here,it just reminds me that at least there's one person in the world who's a more miserable sod than I am.

I might be miserable or a cunt even but I know a poorly run affair/race when I see one.

We all know how this horse runs......the jocks know how this horse runs.....if they are fast asleep, then that's their problem. I see nothing sinister, i went only 2 horses in this leg and came out smiling

Full marks to D Dillon for an enterprising ride. I was obviously disappointed that Silvan Star did not win. However, she ran a game race in defeat with an impossible 12 lengths to make up in the straight. In discussion with the jockeys, GvN pushed forward early and was leading the pack in 2nd. He then felt that his mount was not responding, and unfortunately thus went slower than planned on the bend. This forced the others to come around him, but by the time they did so, the bird had flown.
One can legitimately argue that someone else should have made an earlier move, but it must be remembered that some horses drop the bit early, and cannot be bustled in a race.

the race in question once again highlights the need for sectional timing so we can make statements and draw conclusions on facts and not thumbsuck

You'd better put some lemonade in your beer.
