Well Mr ed, although "the kid' did not run up to our expectations, that grand campaignor, Our Smoking Joe did the right thing and not only covered our outlay but gave us a very nice POT,(ie. dutch-betting).
Question....do you think "the kid" was disappointing?
I'll study the video tonight to make up my own mind whether he is now "over the top."
However, you see why I have usually adhered to my edict of not backing 3kg apprentices on topweights(although, I had no complaints about the ride). I can assure you that if you delete this category of rider, you will show a better overall return on your investments.

Cheers.
