A Sham of a race

My 5 cents is to listen to what Peter D had to say, the owner of the second placed horse, he sums up the race perfectly. Right or wrong we all have an opinion its not personal.
I recon the jocks behind were waiting for Milton to come back at them and when he didn't the chase was left to late. Nothing underhanded, just a small judgement error.

No wrong doing by other Jockeys. To me each trainer advisors they jockeys according to what the feel would be suited for the horse on the day. I bet if they tried to keep up with Milton the race would not have been so close.


I saw VIVA Maria In the Woolavington use the same tactics and beat home Superman I think on the hot pot FAV Ihla Bela, so you would like to say this race was also a SHAM of a race.

In the years gone by,remember Odendaal and the like with their 4kg allowance going 15 ,20 lengths clear and holding on..
Remember marwing going 25 lengths on a horse called Bedfellow for the lunns at clairwood znd landing the couple...
Why is this not happening anymore..
On the contrary striker always coming last...sometimes more than 5 lengths to make in the last 200m..and if you listening on the phone Smiley moosa would be calling him the winner..
In defence of strikers tactics having to change...I remember him saying that the pace of races in recent times have changed and subsequently his riding patterns had to change as well

I must agree with your statement....well to be more specific the first part is spot on.
