Where's Rodd?

You know I backed a couple with him on lately, and I find myself asking the exact same question

Rodd was on Royal Ida when he screwed both Royal Ida and the favorite Silky Smooth (which I had in a rd) in the Chester Manifold back in Feb. I looked at the replay and asked myself why would someone race a horse up the front so hard so far from the finish post for so long. I thought "Good one Rodd. If they had the finish post 10 metres after the bend, you would have been a chance." It made sure the front running favorite didn't win, as well as Royal Ida.

I've gone off Rodd. He was up in Sydney last Saturday failing on Whobegotyou, I think.

Hard to knock Rodd's ride on Whobegotyou. The horse was the lay of the day. A wet tracker ...not!

All jocks have a bad run and their form is off and on. Look at Oliver, who did nothing in Sydney for 2 Saturdays. Finally scores a win last Sat, and now he's a hero again. Ditto the Pumpers form reversal.
