Good call Oddy, nice horse that Cocktails At Dawn and could have a nice season over fences if they choose the right targets. I think I read Paddy Power Gold Cup as a target?
That was as good a Dewhurst win as you will see and I cannot see anything getting near AFB come guineas day providing there are no mishaps in the meantime, what was more impressive is that he was not actually extended. With regard Emotionless I think for whatever reason he has not been doing what he has, hence the messages coming out about next year etc. I think he has not given his running today for I can readily accept that even if at his best he would not beat AFB but I cannot accept all the others are better horses than him, he never travelled, never picked up and never finished, all things he did easily before. I think he will show his true colours next season again come the spring, but they will not be anywhere enough to trouble AFB.
Just seen my old mate No Way Jack just won, gutted I missed that, my Pat Martin mole is on his holidays so got no word,gambled 12s into 7s to the bolix!
Dunno Toppy but I am supping this Oktoberfest Bier again so my posts are likely to start getting a bit fuzzy
"Listen Rishi he's the best 2YO we've ever had" Already pinning him at a mile though? Oooh, what if the lads want him to run over 10?
Do I forsee a horse running under your ownership soon called Beer in the Afternoon to celebrate Cocktails At Dawn's victory
I do like a drink Saturday afternoon STH, bit of a tradition in my family. From a relatively early age (16) I used to be down the Working Men's Club with my dad, few pints and watch the racing. Can't beat it mate
