    Looks quite vicious what a thing.

    The more I know the less I understand.

    Nice when things work out that simply

    Only proven group 1 winner in the race

    I’d have had him 5/2 fav so the 6.2 on betfair was a no brainer

    Looks the one to beat in the queen anne now if he gets his ground, the stiff finish at ascot will suit him even more than Newbury.

    Had Chindit’s bite thrown Buick and the horse off stride and Chindit got up I suspect that would have been a first for the stewards to mull over.

    The more I know the less I understand.

    Chindit isn’t too bad a look Mike, he ran well in the Lockinge behind Baaeed the year before albeit in 3rd

    It would have been a strange one for the stewards RTB. They certainly
    couldn’t blame Pat Dobbs and there are quite a few incidents of horses
    biting other horses and jockeys during a race. I don’t recall any horse
    being disqualified off the top of my head.

    I’m happy with the place and well done Mike and any other winners, the best
    horse definitely won :good:

    Marinsky was disqualified twice for attacking rivals. He lost the 1973 July Cup for squaring up to Gentilhombre.

    More in this Timeform piece (though they have the victim wrong in the Ubedizzy para; it wasn’t Andy Crook the horse got on top of in the paddock. Crook did lose part of his finger to the horse one day after exercise).

    I have a pic of Ubedizzy attacking the man in the paddock but don’t know how to post it here.
