    Ground already soft. 6 1/2 hours of heavy rain still to fall before race start time.
    If you can find out which horse is best at swimming then you could be on the winner here.

    LAWS OF INDICES @ 33/1. Only 2.75 lengths behind Poetic Flare conceding 3lb over 7f. Stiff 6 furlongs could be ideal.

    Also FIVETHOUSANDTOONE @ 16/1 for me. First time out but trainer in great form. Finished just under 5 lengths behind St. Marks Basilica in Dewhurst (Soft going) and may be better down at 6 furlongs.

    Probably mad taking on the front two but with the ground as it is, you never know.

    Good luck all.

    Just one bet today, Isabella Giles. Bet her at 80’s yesterday, and was hopeful, but those nice odds obviously butchered now. Taken a wee bit more at 20’s EW

    Don’t see any momentum lost there.
    Can’t see why it would be reversed, whip in correct hand

    The result stands in my opinion.
    I’ve seen worse not changed.

    The early part looked worse on replay and should have changed hands earlier :unsure:

    Problem i got is that if they alter result they are saying the 2nd wouldve definitely won. But to me its not definite.

    Has to be chucked

    2 or 3 bumps and dragged across the track

    Absolute farce if not reversed

    And yes I’m pocket talking

    I think Murphy needs to change hands after the 1st bump
    other than that horses drift across the track all the time

    Not sure about that on current rules but maybe it should be revised more often to stop riders who do that sort of thing deliberately
    Frankie stopped riding a yard out when he knew he was beat

    Feel sorry for Archie.
    How can stewards possibly know what wouldve happened if both ran straight?. And Frankly didnt stop riding. Its not clear cut enough imo.

    Unfortunately don’t think they had much choice, two bumps and Osin at fault for both.

    Agree Mike but also Murphy should have changed hands after 1st bump
    Makes me laugh though when you don’t get chucked out for over use of the whip, an extra hit could make any decent enough amount of ground

    Bugger … I backed Dragon Symbol.

    Should’ve kept the race and I’m pocket talking.

    Sky Lantern anyone? :wacko:
