Subject: Bruce under performs
Not quite what we were expecting ! However - DP reports that he's well this morning - ate up last night and no worse for his exploits yesterday . The plan was for him to be up with the pace but not to lead . Running too freely from the off he didn't have enough in the locker to repel the challengers . He's better than that and will be ridden differently next time . Why Kieron didn't ride him like last time only 'him up there' knows !
But all was not lost ! The Queens runner - Franklin Roosevelt and trained by DP - duly won at a very tasty 5-1 under an inspired ride by Tom Scu . We had a very nice Sunday lunch before hand at The Half Moon pub at Plumpton and demolished a celebratory bottle of champagne on the drive home . Unfortunately The Queen was driving so didn't get any ! CU

A quick Anorak comment to break the silence. More foal pics are due Roger!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good win at Auteuil yesterday for your mate and fellow top owner Andy Stewart's Celestial Hero (32/1 Doh). May now go for the French champion hurdle.
Steve's horses on Friday both 'disappointed', Space Artist having a scope today(race won by Bryan Smart's other one). Commend backed off boards flopped, no obvious excuses but first run after the breathing op. One more chance!!??
Topamichi today.
Cheers, Douglas.
