... but alas without Kenny's Green Emerald . He will still get an entry for one of the handicaps there but really can't see him getting in off his present mark . Not that he ran a bad race - just got done for a bit of toe in the the final two furlongs .
It was a sunny Sandown Park last evening - though a bit cool and blustery . William Buick took the ride and what a lovely lad he is ! Now Willie is a fantastic top-jock - ridden classic winners all over the world - but not on this occasion ! Now I've been plagued with some pretty atrocious rides last season - Geoffrey's at Cheltenham - Brucie's latest at Plumby come to mind - but they were both ridden by apprentices - and that's what can happen . Poor Willie - he was supposed to be up with early pace and then stretch them up the hill - but never got the horse in the right position. But probably - in-truth - the horse was just not good enough !
Another dream shattered ! Oh well - he'll make a cracking novice hurdler next season !
Nice to see Watters there last night . John Watmore - using his proper name - is a keen photographer - so I'm hoping he's got some of last evening and can show them on ' la blog' . Good luck John .
I do have some stuff of 'The Brothers' enjoying the summer weather on their hols but I need to download them first . To follow . CU
