Seader’s time has come

WHAT great racing there has been at Royal Ascot this week. Frankel was still very good even if Tom Queally went a bit too soon on him and Frankie Dettori gave Rewilding an amazing ride in beating So You Think.

Fame and Glory was absolutely fantastic to win the Gold Cup. The big question mark beforehand was if a horse of his class could stay that far? But he was pulling away in the end. It was remarkable.

We had an across-the-cards double last Sunday. Back Burner confirmed the promise of his previous run when winning the maiden at Cork. I was delighted with him as he did it really well, almost too well to be honest. Fran reckoned he might even stay a bit further and he will probably run next weekend at the Curragh.
