Parade Prince,Nice Debut 5th

Nice run Garrick,that should keep you nicely victimized for a good few months to come.

Another Hautcar perhaps?

I was very tempted to say something before the race but then I thought the signs were there for all to see without me stating the obvious : I was at the rugby, trainer was in Jhb and the horse was 100/1.

Nertheless - given that the horse was probably about 60%-70% fit, was slightly slow away, was chased up and still managed to stay on for fifth suggests that I can prepare myself for fattening up Mr Barr in the months ahead.

Actually - I had forgotten what a thrill it is to have a runner. Hope I don't fall in again.
