Austrailla v The Grey Gatsby what a brilliant race but O Brien Jnr position him all wrong and he was blowing in the final few yards. A brilliant ride by Ryan Moore he is by far the best flat jockey going at the moment streets ahead of the rest for me. His timing is amazing as The Grey Gatsby was off the pace running into the final straight. I would love to see a rematch in Ascot at the Champions weekend again lol.
The Irish Leger. Brown Panther v Leading Light well the Panther stole the Irish Classic. Delighted for the connections but sadly for the jnr O Brien he just got the tatics wrong. His pace maker was making the pace for Brown Panther to go on and run away from the other contenders maybe all the others thought the Panther was coming back to them but no chance.
A great mix of winners from the UK and Ireland think it was a split I think next year it will get stronger and stronger see O Brien jnr put up 1 pound overweight on Austrailla but still dont think it mattered much even if he was bang on weight. A brilliant weekend of racing for all.
I was delighted for connections apart from that twat Owen.
Im not too fussed about Owen being involved to be honest its a good thing for horse racing you need young men to come in and buy these top class horses and keep horse racing going for a long long time to come.
