Not Skelton’s finest moment here. I’m sure this is one he’d love another go at.
I think he got a bit too overconfident near the end and was being too smart for his own good. Had he not been messing about, I think The New Lion had just about enough in the tank to go by the mare.
She was a very good winner though and it’s yet another brilliant ride from Kennedy. He and Skelton have been the best jockeys this season for me.
