If the jockey on Viking Hero had stopped riding and straightened his mount as he is required to do, then King Diamond wins outright. After the slight bump, Viking Hero continued to bore in taking King Diamond off his line. Zahra has been suspended for a total of 7 meetings. I could not believe that so called experts like Simon Marshall and Richard Freedman considered that the protest would be dismissed. Marshall was talking through his kick as he had declared he had backed Viking Hero. |
