Yes – I did say "most"; and having said that I hadn’t seen the race in question, I should in fairness have made clear that this thread was in fact pretty unanimous, well-argued and valuable.
But it is an exception to the rule. We should remember the story of the boy who cried Wolf rather too often – the gold tends to get buried in the dross.

Pinza take a look.
Hells bells, Pinza. Have a day off for crying out loud.
You could maybe spend it actually
looking
at the examples people offer up, instead of being presumptuous and generalising everything.

You can bet your life that if the jockey or the race had been sponsored by 32Red, he’d have been right on it!
Seriously though, I can honestly say I’ve seen worse. The ride on the fifth placed horse for starters.

Yesterday
was
my day off, dear boy!
No need to waste time looking at the race, when I see no reason to doubt the majority opinion – which (to repeat myself) has been well-argued. And no need to add my "I think so too" space-waster.
As to the general case, it’s hardly "presumptuous" to refer to the danger of the odd valuable example (such as this, which has perhaps focused the trainer’s own statement) being lost in the morass of false alarms. Thus the metaphor of Boy and Wolf.
