It really was.

Every now and again you get a race in which it's obvious several are trying for their lives and that was the impression I had yesterday with Remastered going with the leader and the rest not far behind off a genuinely strong pace.

I backed Mofasa on a kind of process-of-elimination basis, unable to muster too much enthusiasm for anything else, but got the impression early on that the plan is anther day. The Skelton horse was the one I latched on to during the race. I got the impression Harry felt the leaders were going too fast and that he was pacing his horse effectively, especially when he started taking closer order at what seemed the right time but he was then on the receiving end of some bad luck in running. I don't think he'd have caught the leader but I thought he was getting the best tactical ride.

It turned out that was the winner and great credit is due to the young jockey. If it was a plan it was sensationally well executed; if it was a gamble it paid off in style; if it was sheer lucky judgment of pace then it paid out like three sevens on a puggy.

In any event, it made watching the racing yesterday a brilliant experience.
