Did anyone hear the presenter on Sky Racing refer to Lanercost "doing his best work late"? Seemed odd.
I've never seen Lanercost driven cold, look to get a cart up into the race and then let loose 3 and 4 wide. He's a terrific horse, but apart from the Derby and Breeders Crown Final where he led then took the sit behind the Kiwis, and the Aust Derby where he sat outside Reniassance Man, he's just about led every start.
How do people feel he would go driven back in the field? With his high speed off the gate he's always a chance to lead but in open company surely it would be good to see have another string to his bow?
Just a fans observation...interested in the thoughts of those close to the horse/in the industry.
Cheers
