Old’uns Are Good’uns

Ed Dunlop confirmed on Wednesday morning that dual Oaks winner Snow Fairy will stay in training as a four-year-old which is wonderful news, continuing the recent trend for some of the very best three-year-olds staying in training and giving us racegoers a chance to watch them develop. A tilt at this years St Leger was also mentioned.
Talking of older horses Harbinger, Fame And Glory, Twice Over, Sariska, Rip Van Winkle and Midday to name but a few feature among a star studded list of entrants for the Emirates Airline Champion Stakes at Newmarket on the 16th October. Although it is unlikely they will all show up, especially with the first two named being favourites for the Arc on 2nd October, it is wonderful to see so many good horses still in training at four and five. The latter stages of the Flat season promises some wonderful races to enjoy.
