Looking ahead
What we learned / things to watch
Ooh Betty and Moon Phases both stayed in contention for part of their races. A beaten horse can still pose a threat, so it pays to look beyond the finishing position.
Jirko’s unseat and the two voids are reminders to distinguish jumping incidents and abandoned races from a horse being beaten on its merits.
