Does anyone actually think that as a good renewal of the Gold Cup?
Considering Strad showed signs last year his days of glory were coming to and end and might well have won with a better ride says it all.
The 2nd's winning record adds up to 1 from 8 and Cesarewitch 2nd Burning Victory a handicapper ran the winner to 1 1/2 lengths.
I sincerly hope we have better stayers coming up through the ranks because what we have at this point in time is very poor by comparison
