Here's another Hobbs/Johnson success. This time it was the Glenfarclas Cross County during the Open Meeting in November 2010 and the horse was Lacdouldal. I can be seen with at the 6:36 mark standing in one of the observation stands. Enjoy, http://www.thejockeyclub.co.uk/video...97748/12154494 . |
To preface this, I watched both which is a kinda strange complement - I NEVER watch these things until I know what happened and how many fallers there were. I just cannot stomach it easily BUT do watch and enjoy following the occasional horse like Hunt Ball so there... I put my trust in you.
(I figured you wouldn't post replays if they were too, well... if there were graphic and horrid injuries).
Okay with that out of the way... Thank you for the replay from today... what a brave horse he is. I had only seen the very end so appreciate it. He really is amazing.
(Was happy to hear that both Duke Of Lucca and Tom O'Brien are okay.)
Regarding Lacdoudal (and yes, I did see you standing on one of those observation posts
)... that was nuts! Four and a half years without a win and then that? That was astonishing... so impressive, as was Garde Champetre (sp)!
Thanks for posting both! Sizing Australia was the only horse I had heard of in the one from 2010, I'm ashamed to say.
