@XLadyClaireX Secreto outstayed him. Pat & Christy were giving everything with EGS a neck up. The best 12f horse won on the day just like Pour Moi needed every yard of the mile and a half last saturday.
well, another way of looking at it is that if Eddery had pressed GO at the 2 furlong pole (where quite a lot of Derbys are won, going downhil) he would have gone clear, and Secreto wouldn't have had the chance to get upsides and worry him out of it. Now, that's not certain, but El Gran Senor certainly stayed 12f. Yes, hindsight indeed.
I have never seen a horse travelled so well and finds nothing at the end

Nothing wrong with the ride at all. Just outstayed by the winner.

@raekiesha The BBC does ALL of its racing better than Channel 4. What a shame there are only about 11 televised meetings a year.

El gran señor didn't quite stay even though he won the Irish derby the pace was slow that day. Pat should have timed his challenge much later though

Don't you think the BBC does the Derby race coverage much better than Channel 4.
