Who Rox The House …Ouch

[Newmarket]

You know what, yes I’m having a moan  because this cost me money….

WTF was Wiremu Pinn doing on this horse….3 nags missed the start, one ran off. 
 

WRTH settles just behind leaders in great spot… was counting my dough with the $6.50 I got fixed odds…closed at $3-70…

But, turns to crap. The 3 slow runners made ground, instead of moving off rail Pinn thought he would stay on rails… but then in straight thought there’s a heap of runners in the centre of track… let’s try my luck….. winner gone before running 3rd. Ironically if he had gone inside, could have driven a kenworth truck through. 

Yep, as I say, is my money talking, luckily bet EW, but it’s hard being a punter knowing that their selection picking was spot on, but the muppet on horse would rather be unlucky. 
If I had that horse, wouldn’t ride again

Probably in three minds, want to do this or that but worried about the stipes smashing him if he does this or that

I am with you on this Newmarket.

Massive gap on the inside & he doesn’t go there, what’s bloody worse is there is no stripes questioning of the ride.

Was a shocker of a ride & he doesn’t get questioned, really?.

Since when do the gallops Stipes smash anyone on the choices the make?  Hell when are they going to give them a lecture about having a decent pace in a race?

In the Railway they ran the first half of the race five seconds slower than the second half.

My reference to 'smashing' was focusing on the individual jockey in question who gets little slack from the stipes

I beg to differ and I backed Rox @$7. The gap was there (just) when he made the decision about the 400. Kennedy then shifted out slightly making the gap impassable. On that track especially, it is also easier to keep the horse balanced easing out than cutting back in on the turn. Had he then cut back to the inside, he would have lost too much balance and momentum to win imo.

If the gap had gone the other way and opened a fraction, the horse was bolting and it was all over rover. Everyone would be saying what a brilliant ride.
