    Hes just a fantastic racehorse. Its his headstrong temperament thats held him back. If hes in the groove hes by far the best. Always loved his wholehearted way of running. As much a machine as faugheen to pinch that phrase. :heart:

    O’Keefes time will come. Townend always more under the spotlight than anybody else so errors more noticable. Very few though at the top level. Very cool in the grade ones.

    Mullins will probably be well ahead by weds night. Its crazy he has so many grade 1 horses while the others have the odd one or two. Im sure it is a combination of factors the main one imho being the buying of the right type of horse.

    And i can see all the replays on at the races website. Brilliant. With mullins needing to reel in elliot should see loads of top horses.

    The national is now a premier hcap and will only be won by graded horses going forward. Not mullins fault the way things have gone but much like aidan and the derby hes got most of the best 3m plus chasers that are around. We are living in mullins time. Things can change quickly but he will take some knocking off his perch.

    Its easy to spot ryan over selling a horse. He slighty screws up his face. He knew how good city of troy was after his first run. The win in the juddmonte in hindsight shows him to be out of the top drawer. Ryan rode some peaches on auguste rodin,none more so than the bredders cup. Not sure he loved the horse mind you as he was a moody bugger.

    Goes without saying the victim suffered an horrendous experience. I hope he manages to recover from it. Victims do tend to be forgotten many times in this type of incident.

    Feel sympathy for all involved. Its easy to be critical until you are in a incident. Everybody has a different breaking point. Sentence seems excessive given how many folk have been getting eatly releases from prison to ease congestion. Just a very sad tale all round. There is no doubt being connected helps you get prefetential treatment. Its happened for centuries.

    Caravaggio was a top sprinter to be fair hammering blue point at ascot. Id say stravinsky or mozart were the two quickest. Both exceptional at york. I wonder why they are running him when they havent done this for years. Cant be as simple as seeing how he stays 7 furlongs.

    Crazy they are still carrying on with this. The orange one could do something stupid and jockeys,trainers and horses trapped out there. If i was an owner i would be saying no way.
