Pity about the going and the storm but running Champions Day a week later was only beneficial to Order of St George.
Cracksman put up a formidable performance and thankfully his Epsom run was not the end of him as is often feared with immature horses.
Hydrangea 's performance nearly as impressive as it was her first over 12f and she fairly put the race to bed.
Anyone watching RUK this morning and James Willoughby's top sires table ?
What to make of the fact he has Frankel sitting at number 4 or 5 in sires' list is an eye opener to say the least; given the class of mare he covered there is surely no huge evidence the horse has enhanced the breed as of yet.
Early days i know but thoughts please .
