when the gates opened all the horses had their chances , 1 fired 18 others did not - surely he must get credit for that
as for IWR and QR - we will never know
Dunkirk was right there against QR but could not be found in the derby
IWR got beat by POTN - 2 times - you going to tell me IWR was going to run the same figures he did at AQU on fast tracks on the muddy surface at CD?
