I dont know what Paul Townend was doing whacking
Boston Bob
several times right handed into the last there,that did not help!
Made the same comment on my thread Gord!
That was a poor ride Ginge,Pauls had him settled lovely jumping cleanly all the way round,he commits him on the bend and he sweeps past them all with plenty left and yet going to the last he ‘attacks’ the bloody horse with several unnescessary back handers and causes the horse to tighten up onto the rail even closer than need be,the head on shows he’s forced him right into the wing of the fence.One has to question what on earth was the Jockey doing as the horse tightened up due to the whip strikes and definitely caused the horse to be distracted by his jockeys urgings.’Boston Bob’ had been given the opportunity to stretch out nicely going to the last and then pop it and his stamina would have got him up the hill easily.In my opinion Paul should have kept him behind at least one horse going to the last and allowed him to target something to run past up the hill as he did last time out.Pocket talk Yes! But justified imo that was a very strange ride and we’ll hear more about it yet!
