What did they miss?

CAPTURED BY LOVE (O Bosson) – Lay in near the 300 metres becoming awkwardly placed on the heels of CANNON HILL having to shift outwards.

Uh?

Had another look but that's what it looked like to me. Nearly clipped heels though it looked like Cannon Hill also had shifted inwards slightly. Laid in again at the 200, under pressure?

Cannon Hill was laying in and then came out abruptly as the horse inside it move out.  Then a couple of seconds later Cannon Hill ran out again as another ran in.

I'd have to see the head on but I think you were the one watching a different race.

Before or after you stopping snapshotting whip strikes?  BTW will you be writing to Racing Victoria about Willo's effort on Private Eye?  Seems you may need to instruct him on flanks, ribs and rumps.

brady.jones@rib.org.nz is your man

I always prefer to get to the root of the problem and Brady is always very helpful when assisting those who don't know the nearest address of Specsavers

...and you wonder why people like you less than they like me which really is saying something.

As for Specsavers well I've had countless people I know who made similar observations as myself so it must be something in the fluoride in the water that we are drinking or a bad run of Speights brews.  Although there is some irony in you recommending Specsavers - perhaps that's the source of your whip counting problem.

Regardless I thought you would be all over the tardiness of getting the videos online.
