Late with my blog post today.  I just walked in to the house to see the 3:40 at Royal Ascot.  Magic Wand whom I backed in the Oaks, bounced back to form on the faster surface today, she didn’t perform to her best when 4th at Epsom.  It just shows once again what an exceptional trainer Aiden Obrian is.  He is on another level to the majority of trainers, John Gosden is obviously a brilliant trainer, but sadly my old boss Saeed Bin Suroor is struggling to find a winner at the meeting.  Charlie Appleby on the other hand has been doing well this season.  Having left the Godolphin team almost 7 years ago myself, it was sadly on the slow slope down then, and currently does not look like getting back to the great days of the late 90’s and early millennium years! Another Daylami, Fantastic Light or Doyen is badly needed.  I hope Saeed can find one, the best horse during my time with the blue team was Dubai Millenium.  He was an absolute machine, but horses like him only come along once !
