Next out after that 2008 race he won the G1 Nunthorpe S and has been in pattern or listed company ever since. The old fellow (he's now 9yo) seems to have lost a few steps this year; maybe he needs to go back to his favorite race and course.

He's a nice horse. I didn't realize he was still in training.

I know Hoof It is pointed and I do like that one.

Not a great horse or anything but has some nice wins to his credit... two back he beat some awfully nice types (Horseradish who is now a resident of HK and has some God-awful new name, Mister Hughie who is no longer with Mick Channon, Dockofthebay and Tajneed who are both pointed as well, Flipendo who I'm a fan of). It was his first race back (since Octobe)r and he beat a field of 20 (the start before he won - field of 21).

Nice type who I think is improving and who I hope Fallon takes the mount on.

Anyone interest you at this point?

I knew you'd be excited too, ed.

Umm yes Clyde go horsies.

I wasn't judging I just didn't know what to say.

What a ****ed up, sad day this is.

I just wanted to mention, though, that Hoof It got a nice win today.

Hey, he's a sound gelding who likes his job. What else is he going to do? He's only 9. Further Flight was a group winner at 9 and 3 times group-placed at 11.

Canford Cliffs v Frankel is only 90 minutes away!

Both horses have won their last five in a row. This is going to be amazing.

I can't wait to see it!

That was incredible. I had goosebumps afterwards. I understand that he had it all his own way but the way he quickened and took off was as incredible as I can remember from any horse in the past 10 years at least and probably more. Super impressive. For those that didn't see it, find a way to see it. This is by far the best horse in the world. Canford Cliffs was destroyed.
