The tents which a few years ago were just in front of the stands and 2 deep are now 5 deep and go to the turn. Gambler,the owners cannot take legal action. Run at your own risk. Lionel, Elusive Silver had had the same injury before and just re injured it. Could have happened anywhere.

Probably true Craig. But the track condition was a concern especially the pull up area. Marcus said as much, hence he cut short his gallop on Edict.

The gallops should be scrapped - Mate of mine started backing Al Sahem months before the July - He watches the gallops and then tries to convince me and himself that Safe Harbour is the better horse because she galloped better - How does the punter know how a horse normally works at home? I don't mind a parade if they must but what do the gallops actually add except hype and potential injury for no good reason(no trainer in his right mind uses these gallops as a prep as that's already done)

100% Mr H , gallops should be scrapped and they should parade with a replay of its last 2 starts being shown on the big screen once done then the panel discussion can begin just a thought

Agreed re the gallops. I don't even watch it. Who remembers the Cape Derby earlier this year? Edict of Nantes put up a so called bad gallop and everyone and his dog went for Horizon, even Anton jumped ship.

Thankfully I stuck to EoN and reaped the rewards.
