Nonsense.
As for Sonny Leon.
The horse finished 4th because he was 4th best at best.
He looks like a very lazy horse who doesn't like being rushed, doesn't like the inside and is no great fan of Tapeta.
He kinda fooled Leon for a stride or two at the 5/16th's into thinking he might get a bigger piece.
Didn't carry on with that.
Hung on his left lead until very late.
There's one of the things that all you stiff masters don't consider.
Do you think these jocks purposely keep horses on the wrong lead inhibit performance? Now that would be a trick.
Please at least know what you're watching.
A small late spurt made it a closer 4th and that was that.
No stiff.
No horse.
No story.
