The more I read about it, the more disappointed I get.
First it was Invasor this year now Manduro. He was just scary good and the way he put Dylan Thomas (on his favoured ground!!) et al to bed at Ascot was brilliant. Then to drop down to a mile and win a G1 and then go up to 12f to win the premier older Arc trial was the sign of a brilliantly adapable horse. I thought Falbrav was a brilliant horse for those reasons but this guys was better! I just wish we could have seen the best of him!
