Harry? Have you ever watched Murtaugh's ride on Whipper last year? Could you honestly try and explain to me what exactly you think was going through his head? Because quite frankly I don't think I will ever understand it.

Not only did I back Whipper, but I'd laid Artie Schiller for a fortune too, so, no, obviously I wasn't best pleased.
But the horse needed to be waited with, and in US turf races with virtually non-existent straights that can be very hard to do. But he would have got up had he not had to switch past Limehouse, and if he had we would all be lauding him for a brilliant ride. All in all it was a messy race, and one which lends weight to my view that its just not satisfactory running so-called championship turf races at the majority of US courses.
