Doesn’t surprise me after Gosden was so public last week. He definitely should have won on Saga IMO. And Strad did not get the best of rides even allowing for the fact that he’s older and possibly not quite in his prime. It’s the jockeys job to get him in the best possible position to win the race if the horse is good enough. He clearly didn’t and Gosden made no secret of the fact that he didn’t. He should have given the Queen a Royal Ascot winner in her Jubilee year. He didn’t. He’s getting a very public dressing down. He’s had worse. It’s no bad thing as he’s an arrogant fecker at the best of times even if he is a great jockey for the big occasion.
