50/1 Rain Goddess wins the opener for Wachman. Who's going to take over his operation there now he's hanging up his licence?
Stayed on resolutely didn't he. Great winning ride from George Baker. Seamie is ok too and Idaho unscathed thankfully.
Always travelling well and as you say he stayed better but that change of pace 300m out was key. Someone was criticising George on here a few months back. I said then if he's good enough for Roger Charlton he's good enough for me. So he'd better win the next!
George Baker is a credit to his sport. How a guy that tall can race at 9 stone and have any strength in the finish is beyond me. Brilliant result for the Mongans, the jockey and horse racing.
He's a hold up merchant and even his peers mock him over his weakness in a finish but when the stylish rides work they look brilliant. Got the job done well today.
