William Buick ...A thrilling renewal of the Eclipse. William Buick played hardball from the front, committing Nathaniel (7/2) fully three furlongs out. That was a brave move, especially as the horse had been off the track for some 266 days. Farhh (11/4f) threw down his challenge at the furlong pole but was unable to pass the leader, beaten half a length with Twice Over (16/1) staying on in third.<br /><br />Selection Crackerjack King was backed in to 11/2 from 12s in the morning. Racing behind the leaders most of the way, he had every chance if good enough but couldn't go with the principals and faded to finsih fifth, beaten some 12 lengths.<br /><br />Despite my reservations about Cavalryman, he was sent off 3/1 favourite for the Marathon and duly obliged; Mount Athos was declared a non-runner.GeeDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834633278297488704noreply@blogger.com
