Workahead was a bit keen but went out like a light and was beaten far too early for something not to be wrong in finishing last with Stablemate, Sky Lord (50/1) three in front of him. It will be interesting to see how HDB's other horses today, The Short Go and July Flower, perform.

He dropped away so quickly, I'd imagine it's horse-specific - may be wind. Nonetheless, not so sure I'd nap Henry's in the Ultima now - we'll see.
That was a crazy Arkle. No way was all the 4 odds on going to win today and with the favourite Majborough jumping so poorly over the last two fences it was a bizarre finish with the can't keep up with the pace Jango Baie turning into a two miler !
Had an idle afternoon to peruse the Ultima on day 1. My each way shillings will be carried by: The Short Go 16/1 (7 places) NAP (related to Walk In The Mill) Malina Girl 14/1 (5 places) Myretown 22/1 (5 places) (from a strong NH family, including Freewheelin Dylan) Zanahiyr 50/1 (6 places)

The Short Go ran a perfectly respectable race so, as you say, it must have been something specific to Workahead

Cracking that mate, thanks. Bodes well for the GN 😉

Cheers mate. Makes up for a little the countless Festival duds over the years. Probably used up all my luck though

Hope you've saved some of that for the National
The Ultima's such a stamina test I used my GN pedigree slide rule to pick them out, so fingers crossed.

As Henderson said, he was flying at the end.
And some money for Zanahiyr!! 22s on the rails seemingly.
WTF was so wrong with that?
How to create a shambolic start.
