Anatomy of a Genius Ride, and a Shocker Too – The Frog Makes a Very Bad Mistake
Lemaitre falls for Moore’s lure, and goes to the inside. It’s a bad, bad mistake. A fatal error. As the frog is about to learn.
Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Lemaitre falls for Moore’s lure, and goes to the inside. It’s a bad, bad mistake. A fatal error. As the frog is about to learn.
Ryan Moore is playing cat and mouse. He’s the cat. Aurelien Lemaitre is the mouse. See Moore looking, looking, looking, under his right shoulder? Lemaitre is looking at Moore too, but he’s thrown off kilter. He is watching to see what Ryan Moore does. But he doesn’t have a clue. The cat is baiting the […]
Here is where Moore sucks Lemaitre in completely. Moore gently steers his mount out, and creates a gap on the inside. He has already sucked Lemaitre in twice, but the French jockey falls for it again. Thanks for coming Froggy. You fool.
Moore steers out again and creates a half gap. It’s a stooge. But Lemaitre falls for it. This is why Ryan Moore is the best jockey in the world. And why Aurelian Lemaitre is just a battler.
Ryan M0ore has showed Lemaitre the gap again. And once more slammed it shut in his face. This French kid is a slow learner isn’t he?
Moore comes back in. Crowley follows his across. Lemaitre is trapped. Can you imagine what the poor bastard’s thinking right now? Merde! It’s frog for oh shit. what have I done. Yes Aurelian. What have you done?
Jim Crowley is a great jockey too. He’s been watching Ryan Moore’s every move. When Moore goes fully back to the rail and Lemaitre tries to dart the gap, Crowley closes the door. Gotcha.
Lemaitre is rooted. He has been totally outridden by the English guns, and they have got him. This is what you happens when you try and get tricky against the riders in the world. And when you don’t do your homework first. The Frog is f**ked. And it is all his own fault.
Moore doesn’t win, but if races were rewarded on the quality of the ride he would have bolted in by 10 lengths. Jim Crowley worked it out, and followed him on his outside the whole way. He reacted when Moore did. It won he and Al Husn the Group 1. Hollie Doyle’s ride on the […]
