Jumping seems to have switched him on again

Was it really a dud ride ?

Exactly Djebel. Would of had to turn into Pegasus to win that. Had a wall of horses in front and gaps closed wherever he went. Only way he wins that is to do a D Dunn and knock em sideways

why not follow the group of horses he is with to the outside at about the 500 tho? just way too cute for riding a $4 pop, give it a chance to run on even if you're swinging it widest 

The ride was puerile. Had no reason to take him to the fence behind a wall of horses at the start. One of only two chances, fit and in form, and Williams locks him away behind inferior horses hoping that splits come. Every jockey has bad luck but Williams rides too pretty too often for mine.

Told by stable to get cover and keep out of the 50kmh winds. Hyperbole on slaughter for mine. Just plain bad luck IMO

Agree to disagree 3BM. I don't think Williams has anything to fear over losing the ride or any form of patronage from Hayes. He's well supported by the two leading stables in Vic for a reason.

Already a thread on this horse

Gunna

It's a shame Yogi didn't run, he would of smashed this lot

Showed a lot of promise as an autumn 3yo, but hasn’t really gone onto the level some of us thought he might be capable of.

He went around in a hurdle trial at Cranbourne today. Will be interesting to see if the trial is just a tactic to switch his mind back on for flat racing or whether he’ll join Dane Hussler & Epsom Hill as part of David Hayes jumps team for the winter.

Maiden Hurdle on Sunday

Noticed that he’s left the Hayes stable & is now with Matt Cumani 👍
