"Makybe Diva went through the worst going and was eased down on the last 50m".

Dont think this statement has much validity as the rail looked just as good as where Vinnie was, Fonome got beaten a lip by two v g horses with a rails run the next race.

"I don't think Vinnie Roe would of won had he been ridden closer to the rail. And if he did, who's to say that he could've handled being surrounded by other horses as European horses aren't used to racing that way".

Dont know how you think they race in Europe, do they all get their own lane?. Horseracing entails being surrounded by other horses of course he would've handled it.

"He had his chance.

Stop talking from your pockets".

I make no bones about talkiing from my pockets i think this whole forum is based around people talking from their pockets, ( How much did you have on Makybe anyway Northerly).

The fact is he covered much, much more ground then the winner but wasn't beaten all that far. I'm sure if Makybe was given the same run Bossy would cop just as much if not more criticism.
