Basically told us that he wasn't too confident...she faded badly at 2-1

Surprisingly, yes.
The confusion was that he was mistaken about the new distance....a 2yr old race will be shortened to 7f but all others will go at 9f.

But to announce it like that and look like a mook is even worse. I pitched the 6 so was loving it when he said it.
