Interested in how N'Golo runs today. Backed him TWAR 25/1. Second fav today (Risk Factor) is a proper opponent, 2nd behind Appreciate It last season. Decent maiden hurdle race this early in.

Who are you accusing of what, and what did they benefit?
I must be missing something?
Just seems something not right about a horse unable to complete a race 2 days prior being pulled up and then absolutely hoses up by nearly 10 lengths?
May be a reasonable explanation but just doesn’t sit right for me.

Perfectly valid? I don't understand what doesn't sit right...
Unless you believe the jockey decided (or was instructed) to make mistakes and pull up so they could win a couple of days later? He'd have carried the same weight regardless of where he finished though.... and it isn't like that landed a huge touch, he was fav and never a big price. So I can't see any benefit whatsoever of pulling up, other than making sure the horse wasn't bottomed when they knew it's chance was gone knowing it had another entry.
Looking for problems that don't exist?Last edited by Kevloaf; 1 August 2020, 09:44 AM.
