Default Tobruk ---IPS
Another IDIOT PROOF SITUATION tomorrow at BEL -- this one is a bit more manageable, however.

The IDIOT: S Morales --- prone to the PREMATURE MOVE

Tobruk is cutting back and there's just so early Mr Premature Jr. can move. Will be hard for Mr. Premature Jr. to **** this one up.

P.S. why does Sciacca ride these IDIOTS? Did he enjoy Morales' last effort on this horse?

Gary rides almost everyone in the room.. While Morales absolutely moved early last week, Tobruk has managed to similarly fall short with more riders than just him.

I have a feeling Gary would have preferred a rider change.

I am afraid not. Tobruk ran well but Mr. Premature moved a bit prematurly and wide and had less horse to catch the 12. You obviously give Sabbie a bit too much credit. Maybe if he rode quarter horses that might help.

I haven't broken the race down yet but from a single viewing it appears that everything went according to plan. I have no problem with the ride. If Morales would ride like this every race, he'd be fine. It just didn't worked out as the 12 was too much horse. Would you have bet that a SPRINTER would win this race?

I'm no expert, but it looked like Tobruk had too much work to do after the first 1/4 mile. A bit to slow at the break.
