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!

Very true, he was a superstar and the best horse in the world (there isn't a doubt in my mind). I wasn't convinced he'd stay 12 furlongs, but i was happily proved wrong on Sunday.

For a horse be just as good over a mile as he is over 12 furlongs, and all the trips inbetween is just amazing in the present day of racing.

Lets hope his progeny can turn out to be half as good, evan half as good as Manduro was they would still win a Gr1 in any country.
