It's never ideal (running the two against each other) but these valuable races only come up now and again,. Surrounding won it last year for us and Terzetto had a very good run here on Guineas weekend. There is probably more improvement in her being a three-year-old. I had intended going to Ascot with her for the Sandringham Handicap but that didn't work out as she came in season that week so we didn't get there and had to wait for this. When Colm changed his hands the reins wen missing and by the time he gathered her up again she ran on gamely. I think the best horse won. You'd be entitled to think that she could take her chance in a Listed race now so we probably will. Surrounding's owner isn't that keen on her acting around Galway as she tends to like more galloping tracks. She's been a great servant to us and it's great to put the last disappointing run behind us when we didn't put the saddle on too well!
