Made his debut at Newbury today - jumped like a stag and outclassed his rivals. I think Altior made his debut in this race too. Be interesting to see where he goes next....but I'd imagine he'd go straight into Graded Company now.
Good story about Pride of Jenni that you probably know

Given up trying to work him out ages ago. Usually criticism of him is waiting too long and not getting there but not the case here. Probably the jockey that gets the most criticism in Europe so a bad ride is no shock here.
I did read that yep.Good story about Pride of Jenni that you probably know

It's very sad but it sums up horses. We own a couple of ponies for my eldest daughter, l have never come across a breed of animal so intent on trying to kill itself in so many ways. In last week's storm, our two chose to stand under trees instead of hiding in their actual shelter!! It's why I've always had such an issue with people who say Racing is cruel. Horses love to run, but they're just as likely to injure themselves in a field (or even a stable in this case).
