    I was amazed to see Heffernan (who I don’t rate at all) ride Fame and Glory as surely Soumillion would have been much better.

    I expect at least one pacemaker on sunday as well as Golden Sword to set up the race for both Fame and Glory and Masterofthehorse with both of them sitting in front of Sea the Stars.

    I very much want a AOB win with any horse and expect Fame and Glory to be much better with Murtagh on board as opposed to Heffernan.

    Come on Aidan !!!!!

    Grand Ducal could also be another unexposed runner from AOB.

    I would not be surprised if See The Stars misses this race because of the ground.

    I very much doubt we will see Rip van Winkle in this race.

    I think we will see Fame and Glory, Masterofthehorse, Golden Sword and a few unexposed horses from AOB and I very much hope one of them wins.

    He might keep one or two of those for the Grand Prix de Paris on July 14th.

    Come on Aidan !!!!!

    It was very emotional.

    I very nearly cried before the race and did cry after the race.

    I am a huge AOB fan and this horse is now immortal.

    The horse did not pull at all today unlike last year and I am SO SO SO happy he won.

    It was a perfect result.

    Will they stop now or continue ?

    I hope he does not come back for a fifth one as he has done enough.
