Rod Street has ducked this question for long enough. Ever since the new rules came in in fact.
Well there’s no hiding place after the performance on More Than Words tonight and I’ll ask again.
I counted six massive hits, fast and late.
15/8 into 7/4 THWACK
7/4 into 13/8 KAPPOW
13/8 into 6/4 SLAP
6/4 into 11/8 SMASH
11/8 into 5/4 WALLOP
5/4 into 6/5 POW
Meanwhile, in the real world, the horse was drifting and even being usurped as jolly.
How can punters have confidence in the sport after the More Than Words fiasco tonight?
