    Three times Mr.Taylor tried to sell off one of his lessor lights to his many buyers.Not even a bid did he get for Northern Dancer.He was a bit on the small side he ruefully recalled as he tells the story.

    From my experience when a horse stops like he was shot it means he has a health problem.Not a fitness one.

    Cannot but admire the prof’s eagerness to fill the breach in negativity.I could direct him to more but what’s the point?

    Not easy when riding Frankel.How do you judge pace when restraining a horse and the world watching.

    Does a horse learn more from a ride like that of Geraghty or does he learn less? What is the point of all that learning if he is then allowed to be beaten by the other horse when he could be taught to give his best at the finish and not be second whether best or not?

    Hattons Grace was 10 when he won the first of three Champion Hurdles.Hurricane Fly is ten now I believe.Lots of fun ahead!

    I really enjoyed the BC Classic.A wonderful race from start to finish.The highlight of the evening.

    I read that partial owners of the recent Melbourne Cup(2014) winner were the Power brothers,Walter and Robert.Do they own any horses trained in GB or Ireland?

    Lady Cecil and J A Osborne might both be considered genius except that Streets of New York did not win.Lacked racing fitness in my opinion.As for Lady Cecil, how would you like to be given the full brother of Frankel to train? By the Sheik!

    Gede; you must really have enjoyed the finish to the Classic? Three great horses giving it their all for the prize of the year.Incidentally I wonder if the second lacked a little battle hardiness.Not meaning to change the subject.Sorry.

    I did what any sane minded person would do.I stuck the money back in my pocket.

    If one is willing to make an anti post bet one should be willing to take a bet on the ground conditions.Much shorter odds than the anti post bet.
