Show the whole race can't you? It's too bad Landseer broke down but Rock of Gibraltar had to avoid him to keep his feet and that was significant to his trip.
-
rock of gibraltar was the best horse there. mick kinane fucked up
-
No he didn't. Chris McCarron is simply a better jockey than Kinane.
-
@SouthlandKing Simply untrue
-
@bluetiege Yes he most definitely did drop his reigns on Giants Causeway and it most definitely cost him the race.
-
Does anyone remember Domedriver anymore? I don't think so really -- he ran a ding-dong of a race. Congrats to him. He is a forgotten hero.
-
@SouthlandKing Kinane got chewed out by Aidan O'Brien for getting his whip stuck among the reins. You can see him give Giant's Causeway a few cracks on the turn, and then not use the whip again until the final strides. Tiznow is a great horse but Giant's Causeway unlucky in that race.

Given a decent ride, Rock Of Gibraltar would have decimated this field...as it turned out, Mick Kinane gave him a shocking ride but still finished a length off in second after running on from plum last!...Also worthy of note was the awful injury sustained by Landseer as they turned into the straight....You cant beat the Breeders Cup meeting!
-
kinane should have been shot for this ride......this particular ride lost him his job with ballydoyle,period.....
-
@saveus228 Ride and trip didn't cost him...the fact that he got outfought by a better horse did.

Landseer probably would have won if he had not broke down he was in the perfect striking position for a horse of his running style
