Out of interest Ginger, what way do you think Seamie should have rode So You Think? If he hadn’t dropped in he would have raced wide the whole way, and people would have been calling for his head as a result. Alternatively he could have pushed him up into the front rank, which could again be perceived as silly given the doubts around the horses stamina. I actually thought he rode him quite well in the circumstances. At any rate I don’t think he would have beaten Danedream.
The whole point is to be in front at the finish line. If that is not an option then find another jockey or take the horse home.
Beverley 330 – Express Himself
I just wanted to highlight a brilliant ride from the man once again. If anyone gets a chance to watch this race, then watch it.
The horse was easy to back as it didn’t look a clever field for the level, but he gave away 5 lengths at the start and from then on Ryan Moore had to make important decisions.
He rousted him to get a little closer, but didn’t force himself straight into the pack and then crept up on the inside weaving a passage before ultimately sticking his head in front.I’m not going to over-indulge on the performance because if it was a bigger field I don’t think he would have been given the chance for an inside run.
The horse was clearly head and shoulders above the opposition as well, but still what a fantastic ride.Poor old Joseph must now feel painfully inadequate by way or Comparison to Ryan- he seemed to struggle as first jockey to Coolmore whereas Moore is just unstoppable.
Best Jockey plus best trainer plus best horses = dominance in the big meetings it would seem.
I just wonder whether people think that these Obrien/Moore horses should be much shorter in betting in future in the big meetings- whether the market will correct itself to this mounting dominance- or will people just go on form?
The reason I ask is because Waterloo bridge and War envoy for example both hardly stood out on form, both were sent off at double figures, but should the market be overcompensating for the unstoppable Obrien/Moore factor?
