Here is the replay.
Remember Bailey on Eddington...that subtle pressure just took enough out of him in the stretch for Birdstone to run on by.
This is just my opinion but had Bailey ridden SJ that day and not Stu Elliot. I don't think he would have panicked and Smarty Jones would be a TC winner today. He didn't need to inject him into the race so early, when he probably should have been sitting 3rd behind the speed.

Great call by Durkin... |
