I don't know why, but I can't find this on my TVG menu. It shows the Saturday turf race instead of the BES....

Fun race call for Ben's Cat.

[10 pnt move up]

and Bailey...Stopchargingmaria is back.

ok

It seems, by reading social media, that people get much more excited over a closer than they do a speed horse.

Well considering every winner prior to that race attended the pace and Revolutionary was so far back I was thinking something was amiss and we would be hearing that he was being pulled up. That was some effort but what was Mike Smith thinking considering what went on in all the prior races.

Maybe he was thinking "I've got the best horse and they're going very fast up front and they'll come back to me".........which is exactly what happened.

Thats all well and good on a track that where the winners WERE NOT coming from the first group race after race. Ballsy strategy by Smith for sure.

Timeform labeled the track yesterday as being fair. Most races had slow to fair paces.
