DANIEL Tudhope’s ride on Bravery in the Lincoln last Saturday has generally received the accolades that it was due. Tudhope used his brain, tacked over behind horses towards the far side, the side that appeared to have been significantly advantaged in the consolation race, the Spring Mile, and rode his race from there.

It was a good punt by Tudhope, to move towards the far side. It was a percentage call, and the strategy worked.
