Bar the Bull
At the Start
Glorious Goodwood is usually my fourth favourite southern UK flat meeting of the summer.
Not this year, though.
The racing in prospect does not set my pulse racing like a bacon double cheeseburger would.
I know we are all meant to be excited about seeing Frankel, but do we really need to see another 1/10 romp against outclassed opposition. For me it is an obstacle he needs to overcome before he steps out of his comfort zone.
I am hoping we see Snow Fairy in the Nassau Stakes, because otherwise we are meant to get excited about whichever horse John Gosden elects for a lap of honour.
It doesn't appear that any of the top 2yo's are being aimed at Goodwood.
There will probably be some good handicaps.
