Kempton nursery last night, looked to be arriving in time but as James Willoughby said "something funny happened" near the line! Jamie putting the brakes on perhaps, a very strange ride (the in-running betting would be interesting to know). Don't know if there was a Stewards', certainly should have been.
 
Doesn't look that great but to be honest if it was a case of 'not today' there would've been a million other less obvious ways of stopping it. Don't really see spencer as that type of jock either.

I backed the horse fwiw
 
I'm sure a jockey like Frank has the experience to be "less vigorous" during the final furlong rather than stupid enough to try and snatch a horse back right on the line when everybody would be watching.

The only thing that bothered me was he did seem to try and tuck in behind horses a furlong or so out when travelling all over the field but then again if he's not behind a wall of horses he's not happy is he
