If you reckon Carvery’s ride was giving his horse (again 4 lengths behind the 2nd last horse) its best chance to win then I am looking at a different race.
What experienced jockey goes for home at the 700m and is gone at the 400m. ?
If Testing Love was there to be a pacemaker why didn’t it be the pacemaker ?
Maybe it wanted to provide cover for the 4 cerise and white behind it ?

Should he have stayed 3 or 4 deep the trip to get the best chance to win? Barrier 8 of 10 and overracing, what to do? Oh and don't forget- when you're riding for Bob, you better ride it how he tells you to ride it or it might be your last.
Yes but in maidens and class 1, into a listed race yesterday. It was about a 15-1 chance.
Up 400m too and a predicted farcical pace with an outside barrier. Not a heap of options- not easy to just lob the box seat yeah?

Easy to cross from outside if no pace on.

Possibly yes. Based on the outcome yesterday it would've still battled to beat a runner home though. It was poor considering they didn't go hard
Nah I think it was a protest against the DMac stable because one of his shifted off the fence, gifting the stablemate the run. Wasn't a good look. But was taken no further
By Decree that was.
Irony of that situation was she was the horse we were actually hoping for the result for (black type for a filly).
Was never any thought to sacrificing her in any way.
(Ran 4th, so narrowly missed).
Yes you are spot on swoop he should have done so like any other jockey would have especially one that was instructed to ensure it wasn’t a sit and sprint, instead he grabs hold of his mount while it’s pulling just so he could intentionally eyeball Solaia
Any other day of the week a jockey in that situation presses fwd and leads if the pace was as slow as everyone is saying

Suggest most would be aggrieved punters, not owners.
I certainly don’t recognise any as owners.
As an owner not actually a bad result.
Horse copped all that, still beat all the associated horses and ran a massive close up second.
$20k in the bank and no penalty.

Why would they say its all ok? The stewards are looking into the ride. Obviously on face value they saw something that didn't pass the pub test and thus it’s being looked at.
Im not an owner of Solaia.

Said horse proved itself, $20k in the bank, happy with the result.
There was no protest (obviously).
Trainer didn’t even speak to the stewards.
I slept well last night.
Kumbaya...
can vouch for that.
Know him and can confirm he is not an owner... :))
I am reliably informed that DMac made a complaint and thats precisely why they launched an enquiry. 110% this is what happened.
hash dislikes this post.
To put it simply - they were on it from the get go, there would have been no purpose in “making a complaint”, and trainer was actually quite content that he need say nothing.
I couldn’t defend that :))
