Looked a bit green. When Buick angled her out to make her run she ducked back in. Certainly ran on in the last half-furlong. One to note but the winner looks useful.# Grand Dame is by Lope de Vega but from the family of Northern Dancer and Danehill, so extremely well connected. Will Gosden aim her at the Coronation? Impressive 2yo winner Bakeel in the previous race. FTO and beat two unbeaten colts fairly comfortably. Was receiving 3lb from those two but you'd back him to beat them again at levels. A Sioux Nation colt out of a mare tracing back to the Wildenstien V family.
After looking like being a well beaten last a couple of furlongs out, stayed on well and just failed to get 3rd place The hood suggested that she might be bit of a madam, but there is an engine there Will put the horse in my Tracker
Of the fav nice guy at punchestown Willie says he doesn’t show anything at home. Sounds familiar, by fame and glory.
And here is the latest news... Something of a redemption day for Redemption Day at Punchestown then. Cor blimey that old boy is going to make some hurdler, methinks. Egg-site-ing. Honeysuckle faces just 5 opponents on Friday. Small field Grade 1. Dis-a-point-ing. And finally...Lieutenant Henderson has pulled Pentland Hills out of yet another race (this time at Goodwood on Friday). By my reckoning that's around half a dozen heats this has happened in over the past fortnight. When will the old boy finally reappear??? He hasn't been seen since the '20 Champion Hurdle. Elle-lou-sive. Paper shuffle. Good evening. Now for the weather...
Pentland Hills has now been given yet another entry - a 14 furlong handicap at Wetherby on Tuesday. I'm sure The Lieutenant will pour himself a small GnT closer to decs time and make a final decision. Only 9 in the race though even at this stage so that could sway the old boy. Meanwhile, anyone on the Blake's 25/1 winner on the Flat last evening?!? Love to say I was but, team, I was not. Well done anyone who was though.
No, didn't have so much as a penny on. In hindsight was a silly move from me as BP was down to an all-time career low mark (53). Did it very easily in the end as well. That was the 2nd Flat turf winner of 2022 for the yard (from very few runners) and it signals a potentially decent campaign could be ahead for them.
Since having the hood taken off, Eternal Pearl has won her next two races including a listed race last weekend
