I don't mind a fair thing WM, but where are the stewards in these sort of instances. The horse was looking to improve it's position naturally but kept getting snagged back in. Don't say it would have won, but it should have finished a darn site closer.
We have got a million ways to spend our $$ nowadays as far as a flutter goes, so this sort of stuff doesn't exactly instill confidence in the game does it.
As far as laying goes, getting beaten because you are not good enough and getting beaten because you are dead set robbed are 2 entirely different things.
