Trots TV has it in slow motion. Feelgood ran out.

Ive watched the replay about 20 times now and Im still not sure who caused it. I reckon Feelgood shifted out slightly but Lanercost also shifted in slightly. The 2 minor movements at the same time were enough unfortunately...
I agree. Sad both minor incidents happened in the same second.Originally Posted by mightymo
As they say thats racing
Some slight shifting in when grabbing at the ear plugs, some slight shifting out by the lead horse, but fact stands that it wasn't a D.Graham master drive by any means, he was too close to McCarthy on MFG trying to pull the deafners when the horses were already at max. speed charging down the lane.
Totally mis-judged his run and with 5 in the field, had more than ample room to be another half-cart away making his run.
Never rated him as a driver and that effort only confirmed it yet again for me.

look again boys and watch Lanercost come in half a bike from the turn until he runs into the back of MFG. Graham pushed Todd into the markers before any incident took place.
If Luke gets any time for the drive i will get a real job
I think you all should go to SPECSAVERS fair dinkum Iv'e just watched the replay for the first time and it is as clear as day that D Graham looks down to pull the deafeners and allows his horse to duck in ,even if Feelgood comes out slightly it's D Grahams responsibilty to steer his horse , PS I;m a D Graham fan ,but that was one of his worst.
There is a man who actually watches races and see whats going on.
Thanks GREG Just had another look , and if you watch closely you will see D.Graham has both reins in one hand just as the contact is made and quickly grabs a rein in each hands to correct his horse
Bloody shame, but i have to agree with dusty, there was a little shift offf the fence ( sorry pegs), but there's no doubt,IMO that the shift inwards fom the
other horse had more to do with the outcome more than any thing else.
lets call tiny and see if we can't get this horse in Lukes Yard!!!
