And good on him.
Punters demand perfection from drivers when their money is on the line. Unfortunately, no one told the horse, the other horses, the other drivers, the track, the starter or the stipes. It must be lonely being a driver sometimes as they have the biggest target on their back.
Tim had a great day today, just as he has good and bad ones in the past. He will drive beaten favourites again, even All-Stars ones but I have realised over time that things going pear-shaped is normal in any given profession or anyone's life. Hell, if I stopped trying to pick a winner every time my nag ran midfield (can't say last as I would actually give up) then there is no point to anything.
A driver just needs to aim to get better each and every time they go on the track. Just like Perseverance Road does next time it races. ?
