2 French Navy
3 Master Sabina
4 Brazuka
5 Krambambuli
6 Saratoga Dancer
7 The Conglomerate
8 It's My Turn

12 Edict Of Nantes
13 Al Sahem
14 Mr Winsome
15 Elusive Silva
16 Pagoda
17 Tilbury Fort
18 Safe Harbour
Reserves
19 Horizon
20 Coral Fever

I totally agree, we need more stables and racing personnel that are so passionate and think out of the box...hats off to the Snaith team.
Job well done. I think in the end though the horse got in on merit, and he is a huge runner. The race would have been much the poorer without him. Snaith team certainly did a good PR job and gave him the best chance of making the field with the prevailing form.
On the other hand a few results gone another way might have excluded him. In that case as an owner would you have been happy with the programme they set out for him ? The plan came together but how happy would you have been knowing that you may have forgon a couple of potential prizes to try get in the July with a good weight and then lost out?
I don't know the circumstances, nor the owners views , but if you put yourself in their shoes in the fail situation, would you be a big Fan of your trainer? Particularly as the horse is a potential winner of the July.
I do like, and appreciate the Snaith team, but I do think that sometimes they overthink instead of running their races, especially with some of their better horses.
