Mendelssohn ready for Ashford..

Mendelssohn has been ready for a while now. He didn't get to make the decision. Maybe they finally noticed him standing there and shaking his head.

Why they kept him off the lawn i’ll never know!

Right after the Derby he should of returned to the sticks.
With his natural speed he could of done damage on the grass.

They like banging their heads into a wall?😄
