As an Elite racing club member today was the stuff of dreams, like many I couldn't see her reversing the form with the two principles but I did comment to my other half as the horses were shown in the parade ring that she looked better than I've seen her all year. She managed to track the leaders this time which she wasn't able to do at Ascot or Goodwood and she always finishes her races off really strongly in the final furlong.
Watching it live I thought she'd just failed to get up but the camera deceived us all, as it did with the Dartmouth race earlier in the card. I had to read a lot of rubbish about Marsha after she lost at Royal Ascot but today she gets her revenge against a top class sprinter. The Abbaye last Autumn was special but today was on another level, and she was 10/1 last night!
I get the impression there may be quite a few suitors for her when she becomes a broodmare, firstly though, roll on the Abbaye!!
