yeah i really dont know what to make of the race.. Dylan should have won but every theory I have seems let down. I thought he looked a little reluctant to pass Notnow and didnt look like a straighforward ride but he has showed battling qualities before...the ground was still on the fast side of good.. the rain might have just been enough for Notnow but if as I thought Dylan was going to be a 130+ horse this year, he should have been good enough to win it. Im disappointed with him but is Notnow another big Stoute older horse.. He was short of fitness first time out but the race was rated very highly so... It must leave Red Rocks in a very strong position (though he already had a run before that Sandown race).. I was bemused by Hughes on Youmzain he went up past Dylan mid race then waited til DT went past him to pick up.. He says that he idles in front but I would have liked for him to challenge early and try to make his proven stamina count.. Im still hopeful for him.. Its a great year for older horses in Europe this year no doubt..
