Had a huge opinion of this horse but Waller just got nothing out of him.. just won the Foundatiom Stakes at Windsor.. not a huge race, but he has talent.

I remember Williams declaring him before Cox plate.. certainly not to be, but a shame he’s not still racing here

Are you sure? A lot of the press articles said he was going to David Simcock.

Is he retired or will he be racing in the U.K again?

Don't laugh, I actually thought that in the parade ring, he seemed to be walking a bit funny behind, like he was trying to widen in a bow legged way, and I instantly thought, hes getting squeezed!

Just looking it up now his two trials he lost by 6.5 and 8L respectively. Not sure he wants to be a racehorse anymore.

Waller said Friday they'd been teaching him to relax off the back of his front running effort at Flem in the Spring but on his work/trials, may've overdone it. Put me off him immediately.

Didn't see it but apparently trialled like a slug. Surprised by the market support for him. Looks cooked.

First race I saw  live today. Arod was in the perfect position but just started to get his head up a little so Williams eased him out. Losing move. Decision making affected by lack of confidence perhaps?

Did Williams pull out to early? Had the run of the race and elected to let the horse stride out 3 deep when waiting would've been a better option? Perhaps?
