![]() For all that the winner was impressive and that the race was probably a weak renewal, I felt that George put up a fine effort, clearly failing for stamina rather than anything else.
Kinane gave him a good ride, and George seemed not to appreciate the bump he took on straightening up, his head going up, but that's by the by as his effort was petering out at that point. He travelled beautifully on the surface until the stretch where he found the additional two furlongs beyond him. In my mind his performance confirms that he acts fully on dirt and probably justifies the commercial gamble Coolmore took by running him in the race. |
