Dockers 200 Report post Posted January 21, 2021 I've been just watching his rides all day so not talking out of my pocket. Can someone comment or have a look at his ride on Rainman in the race just run. He never once went for it the whole lengths of the straight and cantered over the line. Looked bad to me IMHO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnyTom 1,535 Report post Posted January 21, 2021 The pony pulled its head off for the first 450 metres and hung badly for the rest of the trip, Chris gave it 3 wacks on the turn and 2 more at the 300, the horse just didn't want to be there today and simply didn't put in, which happens every now and then Chris tried but the horse didn't respond IMHO PS, I backed it and thought it was well placed today, next time maybe JJ Flash 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're Doomed 4,855 Report post Posted January 21, 2021 I just had a good look at it. It wasn't as if the horse was keen to take off and he wouldn't let it go. It didn't seem all that happy in the conditions. At least the connections have a horse ready to go next time,. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH 12 Report post Posted January 21, 2021 CWJ mentioned on stipes report the horse didn't handle the track, actually a few jockeys said they didn't handle the track. With the downpours during the afternoon the track didn't conditions didn't change from what it was at the first race, but a number of horse's didn't handle it with the rain on it Punters burnt again, track should have been down graded We're Doomed 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new AWT should be consistent week in week out. Insider and Leggy 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
