Non runner Moviesta (USA) (changed in going)

The boss Mick (Channon) rang me this morning to see how much rain we had and said that every drop that fell would help. I'm glad we got those heavy showers because he's a heavy-shouldered horse and he got through the ground very well. They were quietly confident of a big run from him. I couldn't believe he was the price he was. You had to forgive him Newmarket and you could see why he didn't run well in Newmarket, running downhill on fast ground wouldn't be for him but his previous run at Doncaster left him with a big chance. Thankfully we came out the right side in the finish. We thought a lot of this horse coming into this year. He probably ran back a bit quick the last day, so we freshened him up and the heavens opened which suited him. It's worked out perfect. He'll not run on anything faster than good but he'll be entered in all the good six furlong races. He's earned the right to go for them now and if it comes up soft he'll take his chance. As dad always reminds us he won the FA Cup with Southampton. It's 40 years ago today so it seems to have brought us a bit of luck.
