    Kyrios blew up in the last furlong. Just a lack of season match practice

    I am sure if Moore could ride the race again he would hold onto Kyprios for longer.

    It is possible Ryan went for home too soon.
    Also possible Kyprios is an idle… We saw early how Ryan had to push him along when there was a gap between him and the winner early. Same may have happened when taking the lead.
    Or maybe Trawlerman is the better horse, even for the going there was a long way back to the third.

    I don’t blame Moore he had to burn off Trueshan and others behind, his horse just ran out of puff. I don’t believe Trawlerman is a better stayer than Kyprios atm as Kyprios’s season not been straightforward.

    Had Ryan waited for longer though, he’d be in danger of his apparent biggest danger Trueshan getting to him. So can understand the move… And – on form – Kyprios is the bigger stayer than Trawlerman. So you’d have expected K to outstay T… But that didn’t happen.

    Mike he got beat , fair and square , Dettori ride a cracker , it’s not as if he had to knock his horse silly to do it , Walsh as usual broke it down beautifully , the 2nd after his injury just isn’t as good as he was

    Im not saying Trawlerman didnt win fair and square today. Kyprios wasn’t at his A1 best and got beat.

    I am not really blaming Moore. I understand why he did it. But it took a big effort out of the horse and he clearly paid for it in the last furlong.

    If the two horses met again, I would expect Kyprios to win.

    …… As in he,s peaked or isn’t as good after the injury , the point I’ve been making
