So Christmas Day will join Lambourn, Serpentine, Wings of Eagles as a very mediocre Coolmore Derby winner who will earn his money as a jumps stallion.
Saffie was top notch on Highwayman and brilliant to see history made in the 250th renewal. Interesting that the Leger is as old as the USA but at least it’s not been taken over by a madman.
AOB horses really in a poor vein of form right now. I do start to wonder if we are close to the moment where the apprentice succeeds the master. We’ve seen it with Skelton and Nicholls and it will come for Joseph and Aiden- perhaps sooner than we think.
