Will the stipes give him a long holiday ?
AGREE; but nothing will happen because he "did nothing wrong"...

I have just watched the sprint again, and i can’t agree with the criticism of the ride on Sgt Hardy. First time on the right hand bend, this horse, which has a tendency to hang to the left, was kept in a straight line and was ridden out, albeit with hands and heels. There was no chance of a penalty from the handicapper even if he had won, so that theory holds no water. The horse is being prepped for the gr 1 sprints to come and would not have been fully wound up yet. A very good run, and I doubt whether the whip would have helped.

7 years 2 months agoThanks PeterD.You sure know what you talking about so I wouldn't disagree with you but you don't think a little bit more effort or maybe just one smack to see if it takes off could have made the difference?PeterD wrote: I have just watched the sprint again, and i can’t agree with the criticism of the ride on Sgt Hardy.
