A very fine day for a White Wedding…
Weather Gods, take a bow. I spend most of the year cursing their vagaries, but they got it very right on Saturday. A happy day in Northamptonshire…
A happy day in Nashville too…
“Of all the years for you guys not to be here….”
“Man….!!”
Zabeel Champion winning The Iroquois Steeplechase in Nashville’s Percy Warner Park. In the Riverdee Stables colours. Clancy rode the winner of the great race and now he is a winning owner too. Six in with a chance at the last. Which is where Clancy watches the races unfold….
A long way from a mile Novice Auction at Bath in 2019 to winning this iconic steeplechase over three miles in Tennessee on Saturday afternoon…
Man……!!
Riverdee’s Rocket One winning the $125,000 Marcellus Frost Novices’ Hurdle as well – add that to the $250,000 Iroquois Steeplechase and you have a pretty good day in Clancy’s office…
Back on this side of the pond, Gordon Grey leading them a merry dance at Ascot. But perhaps a little too free and fresh on the downhill run into Swinley Bottom, and the peloton got to him at the furlong pole. Neil Callan reported GG to be in fabulous form, and there are plenty of good options for this cool horse in the weeks ahead. Including about 200 yards from where I’m sitting…
Up at Leicester, Tex finding a way not to win a horse race. Rearing up onto two legs as the stalls opened, Jack Dace doing really well to stay in the saddle, several lengths lost…
Half a length second at the line. A tough watch. Frustrating. But a horse in good order…
Windsor this evening. Monday night’s mean Windsor for the coming midsummer weeks…
DESERT COP, DANGER ALERT and LILLY LUX….
The horses have been running brilliantly. Here’s hoping we can keep the movement going…
Clancy winning The Iroquois – go to the 5 hour mark on the live stream below…
