Loyal Honcho Wins Derby

Loyal Honcho won the Blue Square 2008 for Seamus Graham last night. As a race it was a poor spectacle as Honcho burst clear, Tyrur Kieran broke ok and looked poised to unleash a challenge but he checked at the bend again(perhaps carrying a knock after two big campaigns) and then found Kryptonite rushing up on his inside as he tried to cut across. He bumped Kryptonite back, and this all left Loyal Honcho bouncing clear. The rest of the field were caught in the trouble ending the chances to see a fantastic race. Graham surely deserved his moment of glory after bitter disappointment of his Premier Fantasy breaking down in the semi-finals in 2004 and a trap failure in last years Semi Final. Congratulations to all connections.

Flynn and I went took out our own superstars this morning for a country walk. Both received their favourite Milky Way stars after their wins this week.
