Ortensia - Not a patch on the Great Caviar....

have they ever met alf

well I think more of connections for their professionalism (allowing acclimatisation and defeats on unsuitable ground) and sporting spirit. Fortune favours the brave.

unlikely that BC would have won that race, so well done ortensia for competing against our top sprinters.

Cardiff, they have met. They met at the starting stalls. After that she required binoculars to see BC

As mentioned, yes they have. She ran a great 3rd to BC.

Only beaten 6.5 lengths, an excellent effort.
