Maybe if Jones found a tougher assignment than the Obeah, where she toyed with her rivals, and didn't spout his mouth off about facing males and winning Horse of the Year afterwards, the racing secretary wouldn't have been so willing to kowtow to Hollendorfer.
Looking at the form I probably would have made her give 1 pound not two. But like you I don't know how guys can say how great their horse is then cry when they have to give an extra pound. Maybe the Racing sec bought the hype you sold?
