I thought Dusty Foley would get it as well. Declan didn't have a great year by his standards but he has been champion before and is still young enough for a flat jockey.

It should be a good time to be riding for the Aga. Sea The Stars first crop will be hitting the track as 2yos next year.

Too late today but don't be backing this horse until he is put into handicap company on better ground in the spring. Considering the yard he's coming from, he's going to be a long term plot for something like the Schweppes or the County. All those Definite Articles improve for better ground too. The winner there is a very useful beast. Willie messed up with him last season.

Good racing today but I tomorrow is as good a card as you're going to see this side of Christmas.
