Maybe so but from my perspective, if he was good enough, he probably wasn't going to beat the winner but second or third should have been where he finished.

ok i think you are way off, i dont think many horse's could over come the start he had, it was a horrible start he lost 7-9 lenghts, its not like it was a minor stumble, it was a disaster.

I concede that he wasn't winning after that start....But Pointgiven you are somehow assuming had the start been perfect he would've won which is a reach at best. Fact is, he isn't the soundest horse and he shouldn't have won his last start either. And he takes money like I can't believe in every race.

he shouldnt have won his last start ? based on what ? he did win his last and the horse he beat came back to win last week, so it was backed up, and i am assuming if he had a good start like magna graduate he would have won the race, yes i am assuming that

The horse he beat got an idiot ride which is why he lost.
