Too true he never....Dominic Elsworth was clearly waiting for Sanctuaire to come back to him and was caught napping. He definitely assumed Sanctuaire had gone off to fast.

It wasn't until the fence before the pond fence that Elseworth got the message that he better get a move on and by that time he was never going to get to the winner.

It's not like it was some monkey out in front it was a well fancied Paul Nichols horse with a top class jockey on board and the penny to get closer earlier surely would have dropped had a better jockey been on board Somersby.

All things considered it may well have beena pretty poor Grade 2 race Sanctuaire had won. It was the end of the season and very often the form is even less trustworthy than early season form.

More importantly the secret is out and Barry will be wise to the fact that Sanctuaire could try and do the same here.

He has so much horse underneath him Barry will be able to be wherever he wants to be and while Sanctuaire may be a bit faster than some Sprinter Sacre has met in the past the horse has never had to come out of a canter to lie handy with any of them.......So unless Sanctuare is Pegasus reincarnated he's not going to get any 25 length leads today.

I don't think he has a hope in hell of beating Sprinter Sacre and the only thing that might is the ground or he slips up.

I expect nothing less from Sprinter Sacre than to do exactly the same to Sanctuaire as he's done to everything else he's met over fences.
