This boy really is the next big thing and his win today on a super talented horse has ignited a Flat Season that was already shaping up nicely with Calandagan and Darysz. He has the media appeal of Dettori (and seems a nicer guy) and rides beautifully. I said to Mrs BHL, who usually has little concern with matters of the Turf, that he just might be the next Lester and even she expressed interest.
As for Bow Echo , he looks unbeatable at a mile, so let’s hope he doesn’t flatter to deceive like Field of Gold . His trainer is another young whizz kid who is going places and this horse will take him to some memorable ones. Brilliant to see connections enthusiasm and joy in a sport that is sometimes too much business and not enough fun. One of the best Guineas since the Frankel demolition job in terms of the sheer pleasure of the occasion.
