Not at all. To suggest that the jockey / trainer / connections of Miss Finland werent trying to win that race is rediculus. Not having heard the explanation I put it down to the jockey making a professional judgement about what was happening at the time. I had money on Miss Finland and while Im upset that I lost that money I dont blame the horse or the rider on that one.

A little later on Saturday there was a similar run by a horse at Toowoomba by the name of Adavale Hornet. This horse went straight to the lead and never slowed down until utterly stuffed - but managed to win the race by a nose. The second horse gained about three lengths in the last 20m. Do you suggest that we enquire into her running as well? It could be a conspiracy by the winner to try to lose, or perhaps if the second placed horse had made its move a little bit earlier it could have won, or perhaps its just the nature of racing?
