VAAL CLASSIC THURSDAY 04 AUGUST

Nice shoutout for the forum from Brandon the champ.

Hi all Just want to say sorry 😡🤬

We wait for months for good draw and Muzi makes no attempt to take advantage .

Hard game ...😪

At the time of the race, I only saw from the time they entered the straight and was surprised to see Humble Tune so far back...

As I've said before, a jockey cannot make a horse go faster than its ability but they sure can make them go slower...

Hard luck, Dave

Everyone and his dog probably giving you advice on what next - all I can say is to suggest to not be too quick in deciding - there are only two explanations for the way he raced and was ridden - either the horse was not 100% and the jock despite his best intentions could not place him handy (and in this case the trainer will of course advise what was wrong and suggest what next) - or for some reason :ohmy: the jock decided to tuck him in (in which case the horse is worth another chance imo)

Thanks Frodo

Yes have been there done it and have plenty suggestions/ options.

One of the hardest things of being an owner is to realize when you just have a poor horse and no trainer or jockey is going to make it better.

Let's see what happens this month or it's next race but I am fairly sure Muzi won't be given the option to ride when our trainer does the noms/declaration.
