I usually try to stay away from these things and am seriously losing interest in horse racing these days however Nash Rawiller deserves every critisism thrown at him for that ride it was pathetic the horse was 3 lengths last at one stage about mid race at that point you make sure the horse gets a nice unimpeded run at them not hope for the miracle gap to appear, As far as saying Miss Finland would have won anyway no way in the world I am going there we are talking about a horse in Haradasun having what it's 3rd race start he has so much improvement to be derived just from race experience right now that was the first time the horse has suffered any major bumping duel in a race tell me that wouldn't have taken the wind out of his sails, Ofcourse it would have I think with a clear run he wins by about a 1/2 length but it is hard to tell.
One thing I will say is for the wraps that Nash constantly gets he is a terrible jockey to watch he has no control at all over his horse when trying to ride hands and heels if you don't believe me watch some film he lost a Doomben 10,000 a few years ago on Our Egyptian Raine because of his riding style and IMO he is a major reason why the horse didn't manage to get home in a few more of those close finishes his hands are all over the place, sure he is pushing out strongly but the way he does it it's like the horse resents it more than anything.
