I don’t know why, and obviously have no evidence, but i reckon Fergal bottled it and made up an excuse to pull Dysart out this morning. If so, he must massively regret it now because she would have buried that lot, regardless of any ground concerns.
Irish were bitterly disappointing given all the hype. Winner is a lovely horse though, take nothing away from her, and she has clearly improved since being put away by Dysart Enos in a bumper last April.
