I believe there's a disconnect between what is or isn't a good drive.

A good drive yesterday was pulling 3W. Staying in, whether successful or not was an awful drive.

If Beautide doesn't see daylight yesterday, think Alford's butchering of Nike Franco in the NSW Oaks, would there of been repercussions ?

Definitely in the past, I've seen drivers queried when successful many times. Perhaps not by this lot but something this blatant was worthy of a mention.
