Down to earth with a bang

Talk about being brought down to earth with a bang. There were a couple of bright points but last weekend was largely disastrous, coming on the back of a tremendous period for the yard.

I have said it here on many occasions but racing is a great leveller. You’ve got to enjoy the good days because a kick in the face is always around the corner.

We lost Saludos last Sunday. A great servant to the yard, he suffered a massive aneurysm despite only being eight. He won races every year for us, including the Grade 2 Flyingbolt Chase and was a good horse.
