    I don’t like blowing my own trumpet but I did mention Stage Star in the ‘One To Watch’ category at the end of the year. Funnily enough, nobody voted for my suggestion. Oh well … I had the winner :yahoo:

    I wonder if Banbridge’s connections are now wishing they had run him?

    I know we are!

    Time suggests it’s no worse than Good to Soft too.

    Great performances from winner and second, Davy Russell interviewed on RTV didn’t think Mighty Potter hanging up the run in was a problem, said just not good enough on the day!

    Russell had to pull Mighty Potter out when Appricate it got past him and the horse took off to the right

    He was well beaten before the hanging and as Davy said he’s done it before

    Hard to make excuses for him

    Maybe he just doesn’t like the undulating track

    “Time suggests it’s no worse than Good to Soft too.”

    That’s the point. I know I am pocket talking but to pull out on the day of the race is a strange decision. I could understand it if it had rained non stop for the last two days and they had been walking home. But it has been nothing like that.

    Nicholls has always said he thinks Stage Star needs decent ground and it went against him in the Wednesday last year. But he took his chance today.

    Stage Star is bred for 3 miles, his dam loved a trip and the sire required it.

    I’d like to see them aim him at the King George as the early target next season.
