I doubt he would be winning but he had a good winner at Ascot yesterday
 
You would definitely have won the company Ron but it looks as if Gutaifan May be champion FSS
I just had to have a look and was amazed to see that my selection, Night of Thunder is 4th in the rankings (based on earnings - £147,297), 2nd (based on number of winners - 1 behind Gutaifan) and second (based on win % - behind a sire that has had just 3 runners amassing just £21,515).
I'm delighted with that
 
I missed a whole section of this and thought that's that and gave up I must confess

Bustino pulled it due to (sorry JRM) lack of interest. I just bring it up now and then if I got something right

He's doing OK isn't he?​
 
Well he was joint winner with an amazing 27% strike rate, Gutaifan, whom he tied with, had a 10% rate.
Cable Bay was 3rd and although Gleneagles did reasonably, the expected front-runner Muhaarar was a touch disappointing.
A thing to like about NoT’s produce was how tough they seemed. Hadn’t realised he’s from the family of that lovely filly, Paul Mellon’s Forest Flower, who was a fine 2yo and went on to win the Irish 1000G. You may remember her dam Leap Lively who won the Fillies Mile and was 3rd in the Oaks.

Yes, I looked at the full pedigree to come to that conclusion. Probably lucky on this one but pretty chuffed nevertheless
