Looks like the only thing she could have shied at was the rail going from white to black?

I thought it was the whip initially but I'm not so sure now.  I've seen her lose the plot when she is put under pressure.  I reckon  Sweynesday came back at her.  Notice how she went for the clerk of the courses horse when caught?

Have a look at the video, was not in reaction to a whip strike.  Collet used the whip twice 20-30 m before she shied

[curious]

She flanked her and when she thought she was going to do it again, she leapt out of the way before it happened. Good on her.

I just had another look.  If you go back well before she shied you will see her look away from the fence just before the distance marker on the rail.

Oh ok you know what horses think now?  As for getting "flanked" Craig Williams "flanked" her 6 times in the straight in the Moir.

More nonsense from the village clown.

The horse instinctively thought the running rail was no longer there when confronted with black sponsors crap wrapped around the rail and under pressure has automatically veered left thinking the rail wasn't there to follow.

This scenario further highlights the ineptness of Stewards and officials in this country. There's none so blind as those who cannot see.

You opined about what she was thinking so I thought I'd have a go too

I said she shied and offered some possible reasons.  You made a statement which first said she WAS flanked (evidence not in on that) and then that she THOUGHT that the alleged flanking would occur again.  Yet in the video I posted she was flanked 6 times by Willo and didn't flinch.  Now my opinion is that like previously when the real pressure goes on AL will often melt.

OK. So now you have another or advanced opinion about what she thinks? Fair enough. Each to their own.

You obviously know what horses are thinking too but you might want to pay a trip to spec savers or the dyslexia clinic. When I watched it she veered right, not left.

She veered outwards late in the piece of last years Railway against Crocetti.

Yep she has some quirks.  I'm not a fan of head gear but if a horse ever needed blinkers it's her.  Not that I'm a trainer.

Any horse that reacts to the whip the jockey hence forward should be banned from using the whip but NB still carry the whip. Safety has always to be placed first.
