What the hell happened with He's Remarkable?

Missed the race, saw the headline BUT would rather hear the bad news from you!

He won it brilliantly, but he bumped a horse when he was making a move to get off the rail just before the home turn and they took him down.

I don't agree with the decision at all. It was quite a major bump, so McEvoy should get a suspension, but there was no reason to change the result.

It was such a long way from the finish and he won so easily that there's no way you can be sure the result would have been different without the interference.

Really disappointed, and I feel so sorry for his connections - robbed of a G1 win.

In better news, it was a great day on Saturday.

Red Ruler was scratched from the G2 Counties Cup because of soreness in a front leg. The trainer said “I don’t think it’s anything serious and he should be fine again after a couple of days.”

In his absence, the Cup was one for the little guys - Postman's Daughter won the race for local owner/trainer/breeder Don Walker.

The lovely Fazzle finally won a big race in the Breeders. Replay: http://youtu.be/GT-_v9-ZjPE


Travino won the 2yo stakes race well. I loved the run of the second horse, Silk Pins, down the outside. Replay: http://youtu.be/hwSsg0xebhI


And look at this maiden win on the undercard. Derby horse?

Great time of year.

Edit: Whoa, the sound is really bad in these videos. Sorry about that.
