Anybody else notice there was an extremely hard luck loser of this race?

I'm curious who you you think it was, I bet Innovative however I can only say it may have cost him a 2nd place photo.

In terms of distance covered, Innovative ran 8 lengths more than the winner. Oculuna ran 8 3/4 lengths more than the winner. But this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to describing the trips of the two.

Motion has no luck, if he were a rabbit he couldn't find his own feet.

I think you need to watch the race again.

Now, maybe you could have said this horse would have won with a perfect trip, but there is absolutely a horse that should have won and was denied victory.

He's plenty lucky and a damn fine horseman (on the turf). His problem is that he thinks he can repeatedly do the very difficult on the turf: stretch out a sprinter. No one is good at that (even on the bush tracks).
