Sun, 19th Apr, 2026  Merisi Diamond The three weeks probably just freshened him up. We ran him back three times quickly enough because we were afraid the ground might go on him. He did a nice piece of work during the week. Billy said the cheekpieces helped him in the middle of the race. He’s probably getting a little bit cuter with age. He’s a good steady handicapper and you’d be hoping there might be another good pot in him someday. It’ll be ground dependent. Today was the plan, we’ve nothing else in the calendar and we’ll see what the weather does. If it gets better he might go on a little break. Joanna (Morgan) gave me the chance with the horse. She got hurt earlier in the year and rang me to go collect him in the field. It’s brilliant because if I have any problems I give her a bell and there is great knowledge from her. I have to thank her for giving me the chance with him.
