Thanks Neill , as I said , Davy made this fella that day in the Drinmore , a few slaps behind the saddle and he left Carlingford for dead ..Iknew then he was a proper horse , physically he has filled his frame ,when I first saw him this year he had the look of a horse that had matured over time ,and this year he has been a revalation ...Much more to come from this lad ...Great thing about him is , he has the speed for 2.4 . but can stay 3m..

" you would want your head examined to back Don Cossack "
" there are donkeys going round Blackpool beach with a better chance of winning that race than Don Cossack " So Workrider having examined his head and checked there was no runners from Blackpool went with what he saw and backed Don Cossack,I'm delighted. Now some of the naysayers might see the value of paddock inspection. Poor Slickster gets done again. His should concentrate on his feud with Peter OHehir because it costs less. |

With all due respect Wildman the concerns harboured on this thread centered on the AP booking rather than the horse. Turns out Don was on fire and nothing or nobody could get him beat.

I deliberately didnt identify the quotes as its more a paen to Workrider.
All comments to me are welcome and alerting people to danger is to be commended. |

Fair play he called it correctly wildman. Personally though I would have considered dinglemick's recommendation of Theinval more worthy of such adulation. That was very tricky race to work out.
Another Elliot / Gigginstown axis horse has a serious chance today. I backed The Game Changer last night @ 12's. Price has contracted somewhat now but he's still a bet. He reminds me of a better class Far Away So Close who won this race for the owners a few years ago. |

Dinglemick is an excellent poster but the thread was entitled Don Cossack
I always thought The Game Changer kept something for himself but have no idea of the quality of opposition. |

Have to say I'm delighted with this animal , a truly great horse in the making imo ..After today have changed my mind re him staying the Gold Cup distance , he won going away from them ...I wonder would MOL take 2,000 for him ...
