I call for you to be darted for this nonsense.
The 1 maybe could have been closer without going backwards at an important part of the race. I actually didn't think Bricks had the best trjp. He was wide, no cover and horses were making early moves outside of him. He still ran over the top of a stacked field, on less then firm turf for the 1st time. If he stays healthy he will win at least 4 more Grade 1s this year, at least.
