In the words of Bruce Springsteen ...

... glory days - glory days ! It's not often like this . Yesterday we were all licking our wounds - and we tend get use to that - and what with last year with no winner . So all this makes a very welcome change .
We all recon Tom Scu is in the form of his life - getting Warhorse up to beat Ruby on Tues - then today when we all thought Dynaste was too far back - and what a jump at the last ! Great stuff .
And then to cap it all - a quiet ride on Ballynagour to be produced at the last . Ballynagour was favorite for the same race last year and came down the field - so patience does pay ! DP tipped him this morning ... but he's a better trainer than a tipster !
Getting back to reality - Geoffrey ate up and was fine this morning - not surprising since he didn't have a race . I thought the write-up in the RP had it right - 'hampered twice by fallers - not recover' . As I said yesterday - just feel he's still a bit novicey - spending too long in the air . We'll look to go to Aintree - a flat course he loves - but I don't think we will see the best of him till next season .
Another big day tomorrow with Kings Palace and Vieux Du Lion representing a couple of terrific owners . And what price would we have got at the beginning of the week - DP being top trainer ? Bring it on ! CU
