Presumably you thought the waiting tactics were overdone ? Sheikh Hamdan liked his horses to be ridden from off the pace so it's no surprise that Crowley typically does still hold these horses up . Pace judgement is always an inexact science but the first 5 home all came from off the pace so I don't think the decision not to get caught up in the early pace battle was wrong.
