I could only speculate the reason for Beadman riding Dizelle.

Gday merc
I am talking about Melbourne... "Dazz" has little clue down there... and I am sure Hawkes knows that... I will even put it to you that the great win of Lohnro in the Aussie Cup was all the better because of the dud ride that was dished up that day...I don't think "Dazz" saves his best for down there. He has plenty of Melbourne convictions
I am sure if the race was in Sydney the allotment of jockeys may well have been reversed.. Up here he is miles ahead.. tho a couple of the kids are riding very well |
