Sad farewell to Covert Love but welcome hello to Glorious Goodwood

With Covert Love now sold privately to breed at Northern Farm in Japan, some friends have asked me what I'm going to do with my share of the proceeds.

"Buy more shares in racehorses, of course," is my standard response, before adding "but only if they’re potential Group winners!"

Once you get a taste of flying in business class, it's difficult when you have turn right the next time you get on a plane. However, the only surefire way to guarantee racing success at the highest level is to find a way to join the Ballydoyle gang of 'lads' and race a beautifully bred portfolio of Galileo’s progeny every year.
