Could he have done anymore wrong?
Pulled the horse to the back of the field off a slow pace then couldn't settle it.
Made his move too early so then the horse was put under pressure the last 100m and didn't have a clue what to do after that.
Maybe his food poisoning went straight to his head.

It's a sign for punters!!!

That race shows why Lerena is so good.
Big gap between our top and our average jockeys.

Very true!!

Who is getting on the bus with me Only to Win jock wanting to further impress his trainer will be going all out

SHELLY (PLACE)

last time Shelly went over the C/D,she carried 61,5kgs from draw 11-12 and finished 5 lengths of SEVILLE ORANGE

OPERA (WIN)

Just going with :side: :S this could give Ryan munger his 100th winner

I don't think he will win the 8th race with the 40/1

Very nice BP

Give Roy Magner the same horses Tarry,Snaith or De Kock get,he would do just as good a job if not better.
