Could Kempton be on Annie’s radar?

I thought some of the reaction to Annie Power’s success at Ascot last Saturday was a trifle amusing.

Annie Power was afforded plenty of credit for her five lengths defeat of Zarkandar, but much of it was qualified, on the basis she was in receipt of 11lbs from her main rival.

For the life of me, I cannot understand how so much importance was attached to that. The bottom line is every day she ventures into Grade 1 company will be getting the 7lbs mares’ allowance anyway, so why another paltry 4lbs should have exercised the minds of so many was a bit surprising.
