The Peterborough may have been the biggest race of the day but the supporting card let it down.
Kelso put some courses to shame with their prize money. And that view of the hurdles course from on top of the wonderful old stone building is unparalleled in British racing.
I had the pleasure of watching Sean throughout the summer at Perth. Some of his rides were absolutely superb.
In general you are only as good as your mounts but some jockeys are able to make their horses perform better than expected. McCoy was the master of it and there is no one better than Bowen at present.
16 winners from 168 rides in the last 12 months for Dunne.
A whopping £67k in win prize money.
Bryony still isn’t receiving the amount of rides she deserves(although there is a lot less racing in France). However the prize money more than makes up for it.
€734k in the last twelve months. And that is only win prize money.
Remember he is only retiring as a commentator.
Mack The Man has been retired by Nick Alexander
He won over £100k in prize money.
He will be living with one of Nicks staff.
I tuned in at 9pm to listen to his last ever commentary.
And it was Ian Bartlett behind the mike
I was privileged enough to be at Perth the last three days. I actually turned to a fellow race goer today and said that we were watching a masterclass.
Not many jockeys beat Skelton in a driving finish but Sean did that yesterday on Rambo T. In the first race today he was so cool when two horses went past him on the home turn. many others would have panicked in the same situation and then he lifts Fairlawn Flyer home in the big race.
I believe he rode his hundredth winner for Olly Murphy this campaign today.
Bryony ruled out of the ride on Stay Away Fay as she is required to ride the double green horses in France.
As far as I can see there are only two run of the mill races at Nancy on Saturday. Surely they could have let her go.
35 runs in 22 months(7 wins) with David Pipe.
10 runs in 15 months(5 wins) under the Bewleys training.
Must think he is on holiday.
Did Alice just say that this was the first all the way winner this week?!?
I know she was off on tuesday(I preferred the coverage) but was she not watching on tv when Myretown did the same?
The full race replay is on the Attheraces website.
No bleeps. The commentator gives the horses name the correct pronunciation.
Awful
I hope that racing was a passion of Michael’s and not just a job. At least that way he will have died doing something he loved.
I wish there was a way to take the danger out the sport. But there’s not.
He is entered in Ascots three mile handicap this Saturday as well.
Might not be soft enough for him there.
