Sun, 14th Jun, 2026  Gleneagle Bay At long last he has delivered for us. We will have him two years by next month and he has run in all the big races but has been the bridesmaid on several occasions. He handled soft ground on a couple of occasions last year, but I think it isn't suiting him anymore and as a result he has dropped to a nice mark. We were hoping he'd come alive back on today's fast ground and it is good timing ahead of Jagged Edge's run at Royal Ascot next week. I'm delighted for Amo and that's their first winner for me. He had been bought for Royal Ascot last year where he ran a cracker from a low draw. Kia (Joorabchian) rang me during the week to see about entering him for the Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot but he would have been too low to get in so we'll see now and toy with the idea of running him on fast ground in the UK.
