I think that just showed what sort of field that 2yo race was. And remember, winner galloped at start, horse that ran close 2nd, parked the trip. Which is exactly my point, regardless of what trip the purdon horses get, they usually perform.
Look at last night, both had best runs in race, controlling the race, yet a loose class horse that sits parked beats them both??
For the life of me, the 2 drivers explanation of the race, is just utter bullshit. It was a slow race
