Exactly what Bates said. The horse was going faster then he liked. It was all her.

Serpentine won the Derby in similar fashion

What about Secreteriat winning the Belmont by 30 lengths?

Basically a carbon copy of quickthorn in the Group 1 Goodwood Cup Stakes 2023. Happens all the time

@@brianemmitt6211 That was on dirt. I'm talking about onturf.

@@user-id8qx6cv6m Might and Power won the same race in 1998 by 10 3/4 lengths.

Yes and more recently, Panthalassa from Japan.

Maybe you’re too young but it reminded me of Pirate Bird. It used to take off like that, but it eventually only one race

It wasn't the ride. Even Declan Bates said that she took hold of him and took off. The horse did it for him.

did the other jocks get fined??

@@paulrichards6894 ..I don’t know, but they were all looking at each other to see who was going to go after the leader & nobody did until it was far too late. Not taking anything away from the winner but I wouldn’t be happy if I’d backed or owned the favourite.

@@jackskerry2467problem is no other horse is capable of keeping up with Jenni and seeing out the distance. Normally ther horse chasing her dies in the ass. No one wanted to sacrifice there chance of winning and by doing that they had already lost

​@@paulrichards6894No. Either way I don't think the result will change no matter how they rode their horses.

​@@jackskerry2467Craig Williams, the rider of 3rd place Mr Brightside, already got burnt 2 weeks ago trying to ride close to the same horse in the Australian Cup. He did all he could but his mount wasn't good enough. Give full credit to Pride Of Jenni. She seemed to be a totally different horse compared to just 12 months ago. All her 3 G1 wins + All Star Mile win came in this season. Her rapid improvement really astound everyone.

It was Craig Williams, he's the king of brainfades. I think either that or he was riding to come second.

@Carrots44 Take it easy bro, that's racing. This is just an amplified version of the Derby won by Serpentine as the jockeys were really sleepy. Stewards won't challenge how proactive the jockeys would be put in a position in the early stage but only the final. That's the loopholes of modern racing, especially in big turf races. Even worse, there are lots of slowly run sprint turf races on a speed bias track elsewhere like in HK so I am much appreciated the courage of racing fans putting wagers there.

​@@Carrots44I don't blame Craig Williams for what he did. He tried to ride Mr Brightside close to the same horse 2 weeks ago in the Australian Cup but got burnt off the track. The fact is that no matter how the horses were ridden, no one can beat Pride Of Jenni in that kind of mood. Even Declan Bates was so surprised that she took off so quickly and the horse outsmarted her own jockey too. Pride Of Jenni's improvement within the space of 12 months was simply unbelievable with all her 3 G1 wins + All Star Mile win came this season. She was only an average horse before the start of this season. Insane!

@@davidwong6682 Wrong Dozens of horses could run 2.01.9 on a good 4 track at Randwick which would have beaten her - if they were rated correctly by their jockey.

@@elgransenor1472 Mr Brightside definitely couldn't beat her regardless of how he was ridden. He is suspect @2000m and he already got burnt by Pride Of Jenni in the Australian Cup 2 weeks before that when ridden close to her. He clearly isn't good enough. Perhaps some of the other jockeys should have made more effort in chasing her. But given how the race unfolded I don't think any horse will beat her no matter how they were ridden. They'll be knackered by the time they reach her at the home straight if they challenge her in the run. Yeah she ran 2.02 but she slowed down in the straight. She is in the best form of her life right now and she is much tougher to beat these days.

It was on a slow track.

@@markbaston8147it was in a good 4 mate

@@danielkelly4487 I read slow 4.

@@markbaston8147 Sportsbet had it as a good 4 pretty sure there’s no such thing as a slow 4 mate could be wrong though

she was running 11.1 & 11.4 splits in the middle for a 2000m race though. That is going very quickly. She slowed right down in the last 200m which affected the time.

He sat 4-5 lengths behind her in the Australian Cup. A sensible change of tactics might have been to sit 10 to 12 lengths back this time, not 30.

@@elgransenor1472 In the Australian Cup she was within herself when she led in that race. It was her first try @2000m. But in QE Stakes, Declan Bates lost control of her and she took off to lead by that huge 40L during the run. That's why the margin blew out to that far. Even if Craig Williams tried to get closer to her say 10-12L during the run, the horse still wouldn't win. Not only that, Mr Brightside might even struggle to beat a runner home. He is suspect @2000m and I think a mile to maybe 1800m is as far as he goes.

Jockeys just riding to instructions. Mr B found himself as the chaser and it would have been far from the plan. They all got caught watching each other.

Better than what you would see in Britain, Jean!

Yes true Svend, keep in mind, she only beat a group 3 horse in Vis Sistina who beat Dubia Honour by 7 lengths last UK start..

Could you imagine Frankel giving her a 10kg head start in the Donny? Our old mate Stu would drain his money box

She's the best horse in the country 1600m - 2000m.

All her 3 G1 wins + All Star Mile win came this season alone. Before this season she was just an average horse but her improvement this season was simply insane and off the charts. She is a 6yo mare (soon to be 7yo) but she is racing in the best form of her life.

​@@leedelaney70Yeah she is right now. She is a rising 7yo mare but she is racing in the best form of her life at the moment.

almost as good as jennis race

Absolutely correct assessment

He is.

@@markbaston8147 🤡

He is dud. He ate orchestral also

Craig Williams won't be blamed for that because he rode Mr Brightside close to Pride Of Jenni 2 weeks ago and got burnt by her. But U can make a case for the other jockeys for falling asleep at the wheel.

Plenty of English embarrassments to go around, don't you worry! Too cold and wet to have a full turf racing season - now that's both humiliating and embarrassing!

Not to mention the embarrassing stake money

The horse was starting to tire. If he didn't use the whip I think it would have gotten dangerously close

Not like they were trying break any records the time was average

​@@mattpigram2 min 02 seconds is a pretty decent time at Royal Randwick 2000m course given it was an upgraded Good 4 track.

@@St.t2005 cummon,when the whip was pulled he could of ridden it out

Nah,there was more than four horses in the race

I guess none of the trainers told their jocks "Stay within 40 lengths of the leader". 🤣

one of the worst examples of all time

I won't blame Craig Williams for that because he tried to take it up to the same horse 2 weeks ago but got burnt by her. But U can make a case for other jockeys falling asleep on the wheel.

If you replace the words Via Sistina with James McDonald your comment would make more sense. Via Sistina wasn’t offered the option of moving up earlier. The jockey decides when to make a move not the horse. Nobody knows if McDonald had moved into 2nd at the 1300 what would have happened Maybe Via Sistina was good enough, she wasn’t given the chance so we’ll never know. The horse didn’t decide Oh heck, I’m not good enough to move up and chase this leader did she? Perhaps we’ll find out in your Spring? Maybe they’ll both go for the Doomben Cup?

@@elgransenor1472 It was up to Mc Donald to take up the initiative..VS may have dropped dead as Mr Brightside did in the Aus Cup however, the horse may have been a lot closer..but I'm not willing to claim she's a 129 horse at this stage we'll need to see what she does next.

@@elgransenor1472 Keep in mind she cruised behind Mr Brightside and only beat him by 1.75 with Cascadian 2 lengths behind.

@@BalmainBucko That’s a fair point. She didn’t beat those two horses by very far It does cast some doubts But that can be attributed to the slowly run first 1400 It’s much harder to catch and pass horses lengths in front of you off a slow tempo Mr B ran the last 600 in 34.26 VS would have had to run a crazy last 600 to beat him by a significant distance given the head start she gave him. But it’s a relevant point to consider

Tote odds. They take a few moments to consolidate after the jump.

Yeh tote is weird

Explain why it is " terrible "

It was a 5 million dollar race, hardly a joke.

Someone did their cash 😂

Why did it had to be Mr Brightside? Jamac was supposingly on the best horse in the race he needed to make his move it's the same argument from the brightside camp in fact the Stewards found nothing wrong with the way the jocs ran their races. It was just sheer brilliance from the best 2000m horse in the world.

You are angry no other runner sacrificed their chances to get your UK horse into the picture..that's what I love about our racing its the real deal...none of this pacemaker crap .

@@BalmainBucko Dude, you really need to take the chip off your shoulder and relax a bit. Be a bit less uptight I said Mr Brightside because he was leading the pack behind her, that’s the only reason I said Mr Brightside. But yes, all the other 8 jockeys are just as much to blame, any of them could have made sure the leader didn’t get so far ahead. I read in one article that Via Sistina was around 40 lengths behind the leader at the 700m point of the race. The pack could have been 15 lengths closer at the 700 without running themselves into the ground. Waller and McDonald both know their horse just wasn’t given the chance It’s really simple tactics. You don’t try and run with her and sit on her outside or a length or two behind, you let her go. But you don’t let her get 40 lengths in front of you, you let her get 12-15 lengths in front of you and then you run her down late. If you do that and she holds on and beats you then fair play, she’s the better horse. But sitting 40 lengths behind is just gifting her the win.

@@BalmainBucko One of my Aussie mates just sent me this. Some renowned Australian ratings analyst says the chasing pack could have been 14 lengths closer in the run "and not have been unduly taxing their horses". The pack ran the first 1400m of the race slower than an average 2000m benchmark handicap at Randwick

@@elgransenor1472 We have to look towards Timeform and respect the rating they gave her..If you compare the times in the Ranvet vrs QE on same ground.. they ran through the first 1400..7 seconds quicker in the QE.

Why do you say that?

Obviously you know nothing.

Where would you say the best racing is?

Australian racing is the best in the world.
