I have just reviewed the sectionals of Getabird's Moscow Flyer win and they make for very interesting reading.
Getabird was approximately 18L clear of the 2m4 handicap hurdle over his first 4 flights.
The Patrick proceeds to slow him right down between the next 3 flights Gerabird is 0.19seconds quicker in total than the 2m4 handicappers the winner of which was rated 97 and has since been beat of 103.
Patrick is effectively stacking them up but on all known form this makes absolutely no sense. Getabird a P2P winner over 3m if anything should be trying to run the finish out of Mengli Kahn and make this as much of a test of stamina as possible. Not playing into the hands of a horse who won over 1m on the flat.
Getabird then proceeds to put about 17L between him and the handicappers between the 2nd last and the winning post. The handicappers were all out as well in a tight finish, Getabird got 2 cracks and took off.
