Macho has as much natural talent and stamina as a lot of these, he just hasn't had the super-trainer effect.

Totally disagree. Much the best? If anything Rose moved early on Bullsbay.

I have no idea what's making you think he was much the best.

Many ways to see a race, but it looked like Albarado misjudged the pace badly


wish i had bet the race, but i didn't.

^ and by misjudging the pace, I am not limiting it to the timing of the move, but more importantly here the initial positioning of the horse. Albarado started him terribly deep at 13.5 lengths. Not only was rose about 2 lengths better positioned (eyeing it says the optimum position may have been about 8.5 lengths back), Bullsbay also saved all the ground while Macho went 4 wide and slightly brushed.
