hurricane fly - travelled well and quickened , being a clear winner on merit. I totally underestimated this horse and made a massive misjudgement of his Irish form. Peddlers Cross- Ran well enough but no match for the winner. I stated pre-race that he was a class above these, he wasn't and was a bit disappointing. The slow pace didn't help but wouldn't have won on a fast pace. Menorah and Dunguib showed that last years 2m novices aren't that good. The form of the race looks good but the time was 8 lenghts slower than the first race. the sectional times will probably show if the form really is good. Congratulations to all those who backed Hurricane Fly , your judgement was bang on.
