Magician looks like he still has a few tricks up his sleeve

You’d love to have been sitting behind the Ballydoyle contingent on the plane back from Dubai last weekend.

Presumably there was some element of doom and gloom after their horses performed rather poorly at Meydan, although it hardly lasted very long.

If there was a Ballydoyle inmate to take out of this meeting then it was surely Magician, even though he only managed seventh of 14 finishers in the Group 1 won by Gentildonna.
