The faith in Sayesse was rewarded at Wolverhampton on the 23rd, with a superb third, despite another unfavourable gate draw (a larger factor than normal at this tight AW track). It will be interesting to see which way the Channon family go with him after this, with the proper flat season just around the corner. Still nothing happening with the Irish pair, which is disappointing, so all eyes are on Sayesse right now. A revival of winning ways on turf can't be that far off now, surely?
PS. Sure enough, Sayesse blasted past the post at Lingfield to give me my 75th winner - a big landmark that seemed to be forever in coming, but I'm happy it was this lovely nag that made it happen. Our first winner of 2018, so let's hope this is the start of a good season!
PPS. Fourth at Lingfield on the 19th, due mainly to a rough gate draw and bunching. Certainly not disappointed, as you should have seen the finishing speed! The good season prediction still stands...
