That was badly needed. He probably wasn’t liking the ground that heavy but we saw it as a winnable race.
Princess Zoe simply regal in Listed class
It’s a great relief to have that over, particularly to see her do it on heavy ground. We would have had a sporadic good horse but injury intervened with so many of them. This one has delivered every time and it shows, though few and far between, that a small stable can compete at this level. She’s owned by a great old friend in Paddy (Kehoe) with his sister Philomena (Crampton) and they are purely racing people so other considerations don’t come into it. Cheltenham is still to the forefront of their minds but in the shorter term we’ll have to have discussions as regards the Cesarewitch and the Cadran. Joey couldn’t use his allowance here, but his claim would negate a penalty in the Cesarewitch.
