Sometimes as a sporting nation we are very unforgiving.
The words of Anton Marcus after being quizzed by Tellytrack presenter Paul Lafferty at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Sunday about the favourite Hawwaam’s 3,75 length third behind One World and Rainbow Bridge in Saturday’s Sun Met.

“I’m happy with Hawwaam. Visually he had every chance.Maybe if he draws 1 or 2 and drops his head. Who knows? But let’s take nothing away from the winner. Vaughan Marshall has done an unbelievable job keeping One World on the boil this long. And MJ Byleveld isa popular jockey. Well done to them.”
Marcus said that overall he believed Hawwaam was ‘better than that and still does one or two things wrong’.
“When they rectify that, I’d like to see how he does.”
