Can't blame Ryan for our own shortfalls.We put way too much trust in him at times because of the AOB connection
The guy has a 19% strike rate which is poor compared to William Buick on 22%
Never been the GOAT in my book not even close

Hold up horses need something to follow,Ryan had nothing so had to take the lead.

I backed EID yesterday and I reckon I'm well known on this forum for not being RM's biggest fan but I didn't see anything wrong with the ride as I watched events unfold.
The clock in the top left of the picture was telling us he was dictating a slow pace and he tried to run the finish out of his opponents, not unlike some of his excellent front-running rides this season.
Front-runners, it turned out, weren't really getting home yesterday even off a modest pace and I think the ground must have been a lot stickier than it appeared to the naked eye. When an old donkey like Faylaq can come from off a modest pace and win you have to wonder what actually happened in the race. My suspicion is that the ground was responsible.
Write it off and move on, GGG.

Most annoying thing about this one was that Betfair was having issues when I backed it - it kept saying there had been an error placing my bet - I ended up putting 3 x my normal stake on it!

This a poor attempt at satire ?

Typical..............punters see Ryan Moore and assume............lay at 1.15 finished 4th
Fair enough -23% is significant to me because that was the strike rate of Eddery &Cauthen the year they fought out the jockeys title.
