    I watched the replay again. They gave the winner maybe 5 lengths at the start but they compounded it by not keeping the gap in check. Surely some of the jockeys had read the formbook and seen that the winner had previously trail blazed? The worst part is I think the horse was off but Geraghty accepted his faith 4 out when he continued to sit behind the two other horses rather than beginning to reel in the one in front.

    Noble Emperor needs to be carried into the race and I wouldnt trust him to chase down a long leader even if he was trying. Geraghty saved the horse a hard race in defeat.

    Will be reduced to zero......Stewards are idiots. Apart from being told to cover his horse up as long as possible 99 times out of 100 horses that go off at that speed come back.

    The winner was by far the fastest time of the day and looked full of beans like he had just jumped in at the 2nd last

    winner was second favourite and if connections knew that Martin's wasnt off, he was ridden to make sure. It wasnt a 100/1 shot that was went clear.

    I agree he saved the horse. I'd be long odds on Noble Emperor was off but Geragthy threw in the towel 4 out.

    JP's home track too. Would have to wonder if the stewards had an agenda.

    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Stud? Great idea

    In Thailand they believe in reincarnation so my hope is I come back as a racehorse with the Guineas the Derby and the Arc then retire to stud at 3 year of age.
