Ivory, one of the few trainers based within the M25, was delighted. “We were going to run three and Robert Winston was going to ride Tropics but we took him out because of the ground. I’d booked Frankie by then so Robert said he’d ride Stake Acclaim. Lancelot Du Lac has always had a big race in him – and it was today. It’s been an up and down season and I’m thrilled for everyone.”
Tells one rag one story and another a different version.
Having been present at some after race interviews I can tell you that trainers spew out a right load of bullshit
I particularly like the wonderful character right out of a Charles Dickens story, one Sir Michael Stoute. It is so obvious that he just hates being interviewed by the media, and seems to have a particular aversion to the sometimes over-ebullient ITV lads. It is better for ITV to always have him interviewed by one of their attractive ladies, who seem to be at their charming best with him. Even then, it's a bit of a trial for this colonial/Barbadian /Dickens character. For me? I really like Sir Michael, as he can be almost as grumpy as me sometimes. I must say gents, I'm a little peeved that nobody gave me a pat on the back for tipping Bold Eagle at 1-10 in the Grand Prix de Wallonia yesterday.
OK, big pat on the back, well done Cyclonic!
