O’Brien usually gets more than his fair share of plaudits, so it strikes me as bizarre that one of the world’s most powerful stables with their superb veterinary access / facilites could have made such a training gaffe with a top class animal.
Agree that this looks a more attractive fight, and I’m happy as I secured an evens bet with my brother about Lewis winning, and doubled it up with Sven Ottke to beat David Starie tonight, so I’m half way to a decent double! Will he pay up though?
