Frankie stole the race by kicking early. I think he caught most of the other jocks napping (most of all Spencer), who found himself in no mans land as the pace really quickened.
I'm glad i didn't have a bet. If i had backed Excellent Art i would be steaming with anger at the moment. Why would a jockey use such hold up tactics when it is obvious that horses held up from off the pace just aren't getting there on the soft ground today?
