    What a fantastic staying performance by Paisley Park. Happy to see Sam Spinner back again.

    Well done Peter! Deserve a B-) for that.
    Am happy with 2/1, :yahoo: but it could’ve been a 50/1 winner. :whistle:
    Great to see my ex, Emma having a big winner (ex as in ex local trainer). :rose:
    Have given Joe Colliver plenty of stick in the past, have to say couldn’t have ridden a better race there. :good:

    WD Peter H and all other PP backers.
    Sam Spinner gave a good go and WD anyone on him EW.
    Faugheen ran a good race probably just past his prime
    Bapaume given too much to do in a big field but probably would have only finished 3rd if ridden a bit closer to the pace; wouldn’t have won.

    Just brilliant.

    The right winner, and a big run from Sam Spinner, absolutely perfect outcome.

    Great shout Peter

    tbh Bapaume is always held up out the back, gives up once having a clear view of the front – with a poor win/run ratio for one of his talent. Bapaume actually got past Faugheen close home for 3rd and then lost it. This was a truly run race and Townend did what’s right for the horse. :good:

    Thanks folks. I’m just a little besides myself.

    Just calling back to a post from Wexfordman in December…

    “None of the horses running in the long walk today will run into a place in the stayers hurdle in March.”

    I don’t suppose you were on the forecast? ;-)
