A puzzling performance, similar to the race he ran at Cheltenham, that left me wondering whether this trip is too sharp for him now. A thrilling finish with Voy Por Ustedes (11/8f) sticking gamely to the task to beat Schindler's Hunt a head with Nacarat (4/1) a further four and a half lengths behind in third.<BR/>Nobody wanted Herecomesthetruth (3/1f) on the track and you could see why - the horse was really buzzed up and went to post pulling for his head. He made a bad error at the sixth, reaching and attempting to jump the obstacle from far too far out - Ruby just stayed in the saddle and although the horse returned to lead after that mistake he was a a spent force before the turn for home and was pulled up. Killyglen (7/1) collected the spoils.<BR/>American Trilogy (11/4f) led approaching the last but was mugged near the line by the fast finishing El Dancer (14/1). That's racing!GeeDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834633278297488704noreply@blogger.com
