You need look no further than:
KemblaR4
a certain horse missed the start and was ridden hard to keep in touch and was finishing on to the line but could not win or run a place.
I wonder how a senior rider would have ridden it?
One of my favourite sayings is: "all butchers don't necessarily work in a butcher-shop!"

Cheers.
