“If he had hung onto him, he would have been beaten by further. There is no way he would have matched the finishing burst of the winner.”
Jordans would have had more in the tank to try and fend off anything running on if the jockey had held on to him for a bit longer. We won’t know for sure, people will have their own opinions, i think he might have won and you thinking not, but by doing what he did it meant we never got to find out. Fair play to Ben Jones for admitting he’d like that one back.
