It certainly wasn’t a great St Leger ability-wise, although I don’t see any reason to believe Housesofparliament didn’t run at least to his Voltigeur form, if not better. Races do not need to be full of top class horses to live long in the memory anyway. Wonderful race.
Value Is EverythingI was at the track for 3 days this week as I’m an annual member. Yesterday we got heavy rain for about 1 hour from 11-30 ish but not enough to alter the ground dramatically, but they were cutting the top of it so where the good to firm in places was I’m not too sure.
I was surprised by the tactics on Muntaha, as steve has mentioned there was a front runner guaranteed. I backed Housesofparliament as I suspected it would be a true test of stamina which proved correct. Personally about 2f out I thought I was on the winner but it wasn’t to be.
The 3 days were excellent and that Doncaster Cup will stick in my memory for a long time, yes I got the winner at 5/1 then walked out of the members bar to see his odds down to 100/30.
