Time For Love was fifth, with the jockey blaming her high tension in the gate and thereafter for her mediocre performance, but Rush Attack was superb. Granted, fourth doesn't sound like a cause for celebration, but Miura-kun found himself penned-in off the last corner and had to adjust numerous times before finding a sprint line. Looking at the video, the speed in that final bit of straight was magnificent. Had he found the line earlier, the race was definitely ours!
Next up is Porthos with Paul Hanagan in the 2:00 at Leicester on Monday. This should be his last race with me, so it would be nice to go out with a bang. Then we have Phosphorus on Tuesday, before going back to England to see River Spirit in action on Wednesday. This will also be the last run for the filly before she goes to the auctions, so she'll be last English runner for a while...
