Right trainer wrong horse

It’s in front of you… that’s what happens when you give an Aidan O’Brien horse a 15-length uncontested lead…awful riding tactics by the other jockeys.

My slogan would be " Exceed your limits and constantly reinvent them, that way you’ll never get bored with your food “

Perhaps a more appropriate slogan…“A fool will exceed his limits, a bigger fool would let his wife find out” :angel: :wave:
