"but the TV team were talking about unusual riding tactics and an unusual track. In laymans terms, what was up with the earlier races of the day? Certainly the second last race with no pace on until the straight was a weird race, and the final race was an unexpected - albeit fantastic - result "
ahhhh ... jockeys, who knows what is going on in their little heads ...
personally, my thoughts are Rodd thought that he would just skip along like normal and win, but when Dundeel stayed with him all the way down the straight, it was probably too late to pull the cane and give her a thrashing.
But never mind, it looks like we are in for a great spring ...
