Very exciting for the owners of Horizon who I thought ran a fair race last time and possibly is fated to do well here with the sudden inclusion.

Shame...really feel for his connections

What are the point of the gallops anyway. All the runners are racing fit none are coming off rests and most of them do not do more than a half pace gallop. I suppose they need to get rid of the sticky buns somewhere.
