Is exactly what Thundering Home did at Downtown Dunstall last night. Winning by half a length. But possibly value for a little more as he had anything but a clear run up the straight. At the furlong pole, as David Kenny angled for a run between horses, I thought we would be an unlucky loser. But to his credit, TH put his head down and battled all the way to the line. Another canny ride from David who continues to impress.........
TH has been a bit of a "project". A long standing maiden before appearing with us, he has now won two. And hopefully there is a little juice still to be squeezed out of the lemon...
And Downtown Dunstall being good to us again. I personally have not sampled her "delights" for what seems an age. A long way from Whitsbury. As are most places.....
Zamina, our other DD runner, heading to pastures new now. To Tim Vaughan, a good friend and ally. Who will for sure eke hurdles success out of her......
The disappointment of the day being Belle de Fontenay's odds-on defeat at Leicester. As the price of 4/7 suggests, this was a very winnable race. But she has had some hard races, primarily because she tries her heart out, and maybe this was one step beyond......
We will see. She will tell us what the next step is......
No runners today. Bring on the paperwork mountain......
Thundering Home a maiden? So when I did my bollocks opposing him at Wolverhampton more than two years ago I was imagining things. Thank goodness for that. Eddie
