Bruce Macavaney is even worse!

Whilst he is probably one of the best reeling statistics for any sport off the top of his head, as a judge he stinks!

His comments on the run of Republic Lass were obviously made by someone who knows nothing about racing.

And then he says re Sportsman's run "He had every chance and disappointed."

He must have been watching the footy scores when Sportsman got checked and blocked for a run at the 200m mark!
Sportsman is one of those horses that doesn't like crowding and winds up for a run. It is rare if that run is interferred with that he can regain momentum with 200m to go.
