Enjoyed your posts very much, but since John Shirreffs is my brother, my moeny is on Giacomo. Go Giacomo, good luck Johnny!
A very honest pace this time, :46 flat half mile... A bit faster than I hoped for though.. Too fast for High Limit to capitalize.. If they could get the first half in 46 3/5 or 46 4/5, High Limit probably wins.
But it was just slow enough Giacomo didn't have much of a chance.
Afleet Alex is a real tough horse. It's a shame he had such a horrible trip in the Derby, or else he would have had a real good shot at winning the Triple Crown.
Do you remember Catmousam Road?
