Got Attitude should go well in the Troytown

The good thing about being involved in horse racing is that you don’t get a complex about things going wrong for you. Racing is a great leveller so you’re just used to things not going your way.

I don’t have a good record with flights. Regular readers will recall the trouble I had thanks to the volcanic ash but I wasn’t thinking about that when planning the trip to London on Tuesday for the Cartier Awards, which are the end of year awards for flat racing in England.

I was invited because Pathfork was nominated in the two-year-old colt category and Laughing Lashes in the two-year-old filly one. It’s nice to get that recognition across the water, particularly when neither of them have run there and when two or three of the top trainers in England didn’t have any nominations.
