It never looked like it was going to even come in a place eh? First time I looked at the replay I kept checking to see if I was following the right horse!Then a couple of cracks (+1) and we are talking turbo-drive. Must have had oodles left in the tank back there to produce such a withering burst?

I noted the long striding back legs ending up where the front set were and the head leading as I think you have pointed out on several occasions now. Jockey timed it nicely too - makes you wonder if some hoops are particularly good with striders e.g. timing of the run to conserve the massive gas tank then a couple of bangs on the turbo column shift and away we go onto the winning post.

Excuse the petrol-head analogies above but I think I am starting to get the drift here - much better to put some reasoning behind a run home like that rather than watch your own pick mowed down by a laser beam and not know what the *%$* just happened.

PS will take a second look now
