If they made a “balls” of the watering – about which you may be right – then Le Brivido benefited from racing on the easier ground in the middle. The stands’ side group passed him inside the last two furlongs but he fought back to be in front where it mattered. After the first race, most of the fields concentrated on the stands’ side thereafter. For example, normally in the Royal Hunt Cup they tend to form two groups, one on each side of the track, whereas this year there were only about three or four on the far side (who were never in it) and the rest came stands’ side. I disagree – right now the two best three year old fillies in Europe are Winter over a mile and Enable over further.
