i was on the horse in question to place and watching live I had zero qualms whatsoever with the tactics adopted. After going back and watching the replay just now, my initial thoughts were confirmed. There's no way she comes off the pegs early when there is a high probability either Messini or Young Modern come round u, both of whom stick on extremely well. As for the chance at the 400, I didn't see that.
+2, took a peek at the replay, still no option at the 400 esp as said driver got DCSG for I assume making a little room in the straight. By the rules it's a heftier penalty on a bend.
Kev, (Chris Alford may have even gone and had a crack at the lead) Now that would have deserved questioning BIG TIME.
If you are hoping to place there is not a great deal of difference between the 4 or 5 posn in the run at Melton so far this season. (and if you are looking to bigger races we know which posn guarantees you the easier run)
4 posn: 13 wins and 54 places (includes winners as a place-getter of course)
5 posn: 4 wins and 46 places
