Well I was extremely glad I went today. Here are some of my thoughts....
Honeysuckle...still choked with emotion. I was there for Dawn Runs Gold Cup and the reaction she got afterwards was on a par...really. The genuine outpouring of love for this mare and her connections was simply incredible :<3: and so deserved...and you just got the feeling that she knew...bugger CH...we were HER public!
(I actually got a bit carried away afterwards and accosted Henry de B and asked him if he’d like to buy a replacement in the shape of the three year old filly out of the Kaye Tara mare I have here...she’s the one by Blue Bresil (sire of CH obviously) and they’ve asked me to help sell her. I gave him my card.......
well nothing ventured.....!
Corach was great! I love the LR/PS combo....it just works!
CH.....well another moment to say...”I was there!”......has AC emerged to eat his Humble State Pie yet?
The first race....OK, you’ll probably shout me down here...but I didn’t think it was up to usual standard. Nothing shone in the paddock for me. FV is a long rangy type who looks more like a chaser. Nothing else really did it for me. There was no CH or an Altior amongst them. Many looked like chasers except the winner who I thought was tiny.
