You almost feel sorry for Coward here. One word would sum up the situation for any entourage of racing’s rulers entering a confrontation with alumni of the warned off club at Donny this week:
I’m not gonna get into a debate whether he’s a deceitful person or a loveable rogue, all I’ll say is that last Christmas I saw a programme on RUK and it was one of the most fascinating shows I’ve ever seen (racing wise).
He’s a very interesting bloke, whether people like him or not.
According to Cornelius Lysaght on Radio 5 having mugged Coward, Harry then turned his attention to Paul Dixon, President of the Racehorse Owners’ Association and Chairman of The Horseman’s Group for R4C in the Donny Sales Ring.
Ever since he crowned Denman’s fantastic Gold Cup win with the comment "We came here to break Kauto Star’s heart", I’ve never had any great grá for the man.
