Gosden let it out the bag. His mind wasn’t on the job. His mind was on the fillies back at the stables and the race was lost before the off.
Thank you very much to all of you, but you know that in a race like the Royal Hunt any horse that you put can be first or last. It occurred to me to see his reappearance race in Leopardstown after almost four months without running where he carried the heaviest weight and ran over 7f and there he entered penultimate in the final straight and finished 4th of 16. I saw him very well and I rolled the dice on Tuesday by the afternoon when he was 18/1. Yesterday morning he was 14-16/1 and I decided to put him here. I was very lucky.
