Default gold edition

just a note on my observation of Gold Edition;s run on Saturday.

Not apportioning any fault here but I didnt think the jockey took advantage of his barrier 1 draw. he didnt keep the fence/lead and when he tried not to be locked in on a horse that had prior difficulty with the distance left the fence (too early) and then got done by a horse coming through on the fence.

If he had been beaten by being run down from barrier 1 and holding the fence/lead then I think fair enough but it didnt look good and made it harder for Gold Edition to win (over confidence???)
Disclaimer; I backed neither Gold Edition or the winner.
