Arlington Million Saturday

Mike de Kock didn't think that way. "That" he said "was the most ungentlemanly ride I've seen for a long time. Johnny hindered us the whole way round and twice put us into the fence. He's King Johnny and he thinks he's King of The World".

Did Murtagh used to ride for DeKock in Dubai?
 
you see 2 races a week like that at Lingfield, how O'Shea thought the gap would ever come was a bit of a joke really he should have angled out coming into the bend and go three deep, lack of a racing brain cost him the race, not Murtagh's straight forwrad riding tactics.
 
Murtagh rode Archipenko in Dubai and recommended that the horse wear blinkers in the future. In his first start with blinkers he won a G2 race there and has improved since then with the blinkers on.

IEAH Stables were interested in buying several others out of the Ballydoyle including Plan. Not sure how many were sold but Gary Stevens rejected several horses that Ballydoyle were trying to sell.

Winchester looks like will be back for the BC Turf. His time was slightly faster than Spriit One.
 
DeKock has apologised in todays paper, saying his comments were out of line and were said in the heat of the moment.
