    If planning a flat race campaign would it not have made more sense to put him with a specialist flat trainer rather than NH ?

    A very fine trainer who had success with all manner of different types of horse. A master of late maturing middle distance horses such as Opera House Harbinger and Pilsudski. The type of racehorse I like best.

    Rather sad to see his career end on a bit of a low note with reduced numbers and quality in recent years.

    Not a betting proposition but Field of Gold for me

    O.K. I’ll bite although I detest sprint handicaps.

    Might be old Summerghand’s turn ?

    Not a strong renewal. Thought the old sweats of the 7 furlong scene Pogo and Jumby would be rocking up

    Phantom Flight each way for me. George Scott’s yard in good form

    What a shame Isle of Jura got crocked.

    As for AR stinking the place out yet again he really is a horse I cannot take to.

    Have we heard from AOB ?

    Listen it’s something I have got wrong, let the Lads down wid dis and this boy who is the greatest horse in the world. I need to say sorry to all the team, Paddy the local shop owner, Willie the feed merchant and Seamus the cat. Listen blah blah blah.

    Not a retirement but I have read that dear old Thomas Crapper has died in retirement

    I agree with CAS. Not Hollie’s best ride.

    Will be interesting to see where the Trooper rocks up next

    What did AOB have to say and how many people did he thank for contributing to another win for the Lads ?

    Agreed.

    Sheer vandalism to be having this day and The Plate on the AWT

    Yes that is phrase I detest. John Francome used it a lot. The horse jumps the fences and not the space in between.

    I also detest these daft sayings:

    XYZ (Name of horse) wins the races. A horse can only participate in one race at a time.

    He will jump a fence in due course. Not a lot of use. We don’t have races with just one fence.

    Isle Of Jura on a big upward curve. Godolphin must be a tad annoyed to have let this one go.

    Very pleased for Callum and George Scott. Both deserved a big Group winner. George Scott has not had the quality of horse he has deserved since losing the Gredley wife and their horses.

    Listen I forgot to mention Uncle Tom Cobley who does so much for us.

    This boy Kyrios is a beast. The Lads might decide to have a crack at the July Cup with this boy.

    Listen this boy will sire Ascot two year old winners.

    What do you think of my over large top hat ?

    Sorry AOB your interviews have me reaching for the sick bag.

    Just watched a recording of the race.

    Inspiral looks to have “gone” based on that run
