Not a disgraceful performance for a horse that was trading at 75/1 odds in the race.
He raced within one length or less of 3/2 "favourite" Excalibration at every single call and finished within a length of him.
Even though he proved to be not enough racehorse ... it doesn't diminish Shirreffs long proven ability to point for an objective.
