Hi, welcome to the forum.
I noticed that you praised the ride of Cathy Prosser and rightly so. However, did you note what was probably the worst ride of the day? The ride on Wagstaff defied all belief and make you wonder what the jockey was thinking. All I can say is that it gets pretty "hot" up there sometimes. To jump from a reasonable barrier and then to bury the favourite on the fence with nowhere to go suggests it just wasn't "the day" for this particular horse.
I will be monitoring the future rides of that jockey to decide if he warrants me putting my hard-earned on him any time in the future.
On a more positive note, in that race I let the winner, Cosmic Rays, get under my guard. A. Robinson going to the Gold coast for one ride is a pointer which I rarely let bytpass me, however, these things happen, and it ensures that I will be more vigilant in the future.
Cheers.
