Weasel Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Dettori to stewards: He said: "Master of Reality was looking for company and went left but I had both hands on my reins and corrected him. Perhaps I could have corrected him a stride earlier, but it was very minimal interference." Stewards to Dettori: Have a nine meeting holiday, young man! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Interesting though that he was backed up by rider of the promoted horse who said it would have made no difference to him finishing any closer than 4 th. Must be unusual to have a jockey who stands to be promoted almost saying don't promote me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biscuit short of a packet ! Would have been good to have seen Dettori salute, he won't get many more chances and he's certainly better theatre than the incessant C. Williams.

MoR's problem (well, Dettori's, really) was that MoR could/should have been straightened before they bumped near the post, and wasn't. He came in 5 horse widths / 'lanes', in the hands of the world's premier jockey (bar none). Stewards were right to relegate them.

Ronaldo Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) Well not in actual words, but in saying he would probably still have finished 4 th without interference, he didn't seem to be trying to present a very positive case. All in all, plus saying he was sorry for Frankie that should happen over something so minimal, he almost was heading that way. I wonder what the owners of the promoted horse were thinking when he claimed result could well have been the same. He sure doesn't seem to have been fighting tooth and nail for promotion.

Newmarket Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 For a world class jockey, Frankie has been very average in aussie. Gave the horse perfect run, but why did he not change whip when running in? Tell you what, if any top aus jock was on it, would have won the race, No worries.

And not just 'world-class' but arguably world's best (19 Group wins this season???). Didn't Frankie stuff up on Max Dynamite in the Cup a few years ago as well?

If you'd have watched closely Dettori changed hands at the 350M mark with 4/5 strikes then back to the right hand. The head on can be easily viewed on you tube.
