Did you get to see the race from work?

He did what i saw him do plenty of times of the flat - travel really well and looking as if it was a 'how far' job and then all of a sudden, McCoy had his stick up and the horse was running on the spot.

Whether it is just the case he finds little of the bridle, or maybe he is a bit of a 'dog'.

Ground was very, very soft there today. He will be better on good ground round sharp tracks.

Think its unfair to say he dogged it. Whilst he showed signs of being ungenuine in his younger days, nothing that he's done recently on the Flat would make me think that. Possibly a combination of doing too much early yesterday (was pretty keen) with the testing conditions saw him undone. Either way he was disappointing. Take the point that better ground/sharp track will see him in a better light.
