It was Iain McKenzie and admittedly not a commentary that will go into his all time top ten greatest.
However, in his defence when he made the comment that Openide was beaten he wasn’t the only one with that view – he did look as though he wasn’t going to go through with his effort.
Even I thought he was beaten half way down the straight and I had backed the blessed thing, so had every reason to be more optimistic than most.
On the Alan Jones runner, Secret Dancer, his explanation (which, as usual, was noted by the Stewards) was the horse is "fragile" which is why he pulled up on his previous starts and he contended that today he ran up to his flat form.
