Henderson makes me laugh he reckons cyrname was fitter than altior and blamed the soft ground for the defeat.now me and hippo have had a few debates on these 2 horses and as cyrname had been beaten first time out for the last 3 years I think correct me if I'm wrong.altior was beaten fair and square .but henderson thinks the run will bring his horse on.but so will cyrname.why can't he accept it.and stop making excuses. It stayed the distance but 3 miles will really test it . And why did it go off that crazy price . Who in the right mind would have taken 1 ' 3 now if cyrname had got beat I'd have come on and accepted it. I did actually think that both would need the run and altior win as of cyrnames history first time out. But it didn't surprise me of how it performed. it is a young improving horse. Still they both came back safe and sound :wink:
