i dont think i criticised the rides other than they seemed to be held up as a lot of horses seem to be on the flemington turn and into the straight.
what i am commenting on is that there is a heavy reliance on luck in races like this and seems to me to be high risk backing horses with chances in these races.
ulysses may have got a break if he had got clear sooner.
probably sir pentyre could have been placed if he had got clear.
as a punter horses on the inside at flemington are very risky and you are betting on more than the horses and jockey's a bility .
