It would be amazing to see him win anything...I hope tomorrow is a good day for him.

Hope you had a chance to watch the race. Apart from the financial return, he ran about as well as I expected (though I thought he would have picked up second). It was a nice $5K schooling session. A flat track like Kempton doesn't suit him and it was obviously the owner's were looking to pick up the crumbs once again. Good for them as these were decent crumbs.
Balder Succes jumped sweetly. His exhibition was fun to watch. Even though he was odds on, I was able to cash a decent ticket on him. I guess that's one nice thing about Hunt Ball, thanks to the owner's - he's always a very confident bet against.
My guess he will show up again during the Cheltenham festival in March, a track that he loves. He will no doubt be entered in a race he can't win, but again pick up the crumbs.
