Riding Lesson

In this instance I don't think Allpress had many options with where her horse settled.  Pinn made a move at the right time but Allpress was stuck on the fence.  Would be interested to hear more of your analysis @All The Aces.

Interesting comment from Allpress when she was interviewed yesterday after an excellent ride on Cool Change to win the second at Awapuni.  To paraphrase she said "tracking Bosson and Innes I knew they would safely bring me into the race"....  I wondered if she is feeling a little gun shy due to the quality (lack of) in general at the moment.

What are you talking about?

Allpress drew three from the outside, one outside Billy Pinn and CHOSE to go across to the fence and end up second last whilst Billy Pinn settled outside her. At the 1200m Pinn could see Allpress had horses in front of her so improved forward to sit outside the leader whilst Allpress ends up still last on the fence. At the 600m he drives Posh Porotene to the lead and goes for home knowing if he can get a break on Posh Porotene Allpress would be flat to catch them. Allpress reamians stuck on the fence in last place and was still last turning in before finally getting some room to come between runners over the final 250m and finishes strongly to grab second on the $1.90 favourite some three lengths adrift of Pinn. 

Game, set and match to Billy Pinn. Six love, six love and six love with no points to Allpress.

You neglect to mention that Pinns horse cannoned into Allpress's after they jumped.  Her horse lost a length because of it.

I don't think any raw apprentice could teach Lisa ANYTHING

It's horse racing and many factors are at play

Pinn has a lot more talent and potential than most of the apprentices.  Heard him talking about pace - "they were only doing 15's so I went to the front"...

Agree regarding Allpress but I've posted a couple of times now that I think she and a number of Senior Jockey's are a bit field shy due to the lack of quality of those around them.

What's that got to do with it. She then took a left turn to go down to the fence and ended up in a situation where she was dictated to. She made the call to angle to the fence.

15's -must have been a very slow steeplechase

They were going very slow but I think he may have been slightly exaggerating.   Although I may have misheard him say 13's.

I think it was the win on Hong Kong.  They slowed heaps as they exited the straight the first time.
