Kopek got all the talent but early on his jumping is rather alarming and whilst he warmed up as the race progressed that peck at the last lost him all momentum and the ground he lost getting away from the last was pretty much how far he was beaten by but at the end of the day jumping is the name of the game and the most professional horse won.
This was run at an even slower pace with many 15s furlongs being clocked but they were really motoring late on as the overall time was only 0.35s slow. You have to say that Danny rode a blinder as I was fully expecting him to go off a lot faster on her but he just sat in front and then kicked off the turn.
