MR6,

There was a certain horse ridden by a supposedly capable rider in this race.
Yet, he sat three wide all the way and didn't finish on.
The commentator stated: "it didn't run on".....no wonder!
It was a "barry" of a ride yet he still gets his riding fee....what do we punters get....?

Cheers.

SR8,
Was this a "boat race" or what......?
In the final 250m several hoops adopted a riding style more suited to track gallops or trials...certainly not giving the impression they were keen to win!
One hoop hooked his mount out wide at the back of the field and it was gaining ground on the leaders but then he ran into the backside of a runner in front!
I ask you...is this the effort we would expect from a supposedly top rider....I think not....!
NB. it was the final leg of the quaddie so I have probably answered my own question.
I don't bet on the quaddie much as I feel there are too many temptations for rather dubious practices to occur.

Cheers.

BR6,
the favourite is pulled up soon after the start and plays no further part in the race.
No wonder I very, very rarely bet on Brisbane races!
NB. the horse's name was "Foolish"...maybe this is appropriate for those "desperates" who continue to wager up there.

Cheers.

SR6,
After some very questionable rides by some jockeys the race is won by the longshot....go figure!
Interesting that it was a leg of the quaddie isn't it...hmmmmmmm!
Throw the form books/documents out the window in such races!!

Cheers.

SR4,
Did anyone else have any reservations as to how some horses were ridden in this race?

Cheers.

MR2,
Anyone else share my concern with the ride/run of a certain fancied public elect in this race?
Are the stewards allowing horses to run when not fit enough to perform at their optimum level?
We'll watch with great interest how it goes next start!

Cheers.

MR2,
the ride on a certain runner left a lot to be desired...but then again, the "royalty" of racing have no reason to explain themselves to we "plebs"(the racing/betting public) do they..................?

Cheers.

MR3,
this was a bit better...but...I pose the question - do the officials "tolerate" so-called "practice runs"....I'll leave it up to you!

Cheers.

SR5,
anyone else share my concerns with the extraordinary pace set up front in this race?
Maybe the cynical amongst us would consider that it was to set things up for the swoopers.
NB. Trifecta:$20,254.40.....!!!!!!!!!
You figure it out.....!

Cheers.
