gort,

Horses running last are usually NON favoured runners,and no enquiry is warranted.However,when a horse that is carying the weight of public money,is trained by a high profile trainer and ridden by a high profile jockey,IMO some explanation should be forthcoming.To say he was riding "for luck"is a cop out.

Maybe he thought Moses was going to part the field for him!The horse is a backmarker anyway so the wide barrier meant nothing in the scheme of things.

My point is he had every chance to improve his position earlier and did not.

Good luck to you for laying it,BUT the average Joe who anchored it in doubles,quins etc.don't use Betfair and did their money cold.

To get beaten less than2 lengths coming from where he did tells me if he had have come 5/6/7/wide BEFORE the turn he just about wins the race.

I think Robbo and Newitt were pretty hard done by.

While wer'e on the subject,what about the ride on Miss Finland???
Do you think that warrants an enquiry??
Same scenario trainer & jockey wise,again the average punter does his money cold,then gets a B>S explanation,and no enquiry forthcoming.
