The jockeys do have a bit more to do with the outcome going 12fs I'd say. Am I the only one thinking a drastic change of tactics could be in the offing for the now blinker-clad Summer Bird? Desormeaux loves the mid-backstretch rail rush, so perhaps he'll just do it earlier with SB and ask him to sustain a 10 furlong run.
