A rather lacklustre performance from Fine today, after all the great runs yesterday (sorry Bob!).

Never really had any hope of catching the frontrunners. He didn't break as well as he usually does. Seemed to tire in the homestretch too.

Still, everyone's entitled to an 'off' day. I wonder whether they will switch him back to the shorter distance?

I'd take him off ....flying the turn last time, and now an entirely uncharacteristic performance. He's telling someone something.
