Only divine intervention. Brighterdaysahead and her pacemaker have added much needed spice to what originally looked a bland dish but this is the best hurdler I have seen since Istabraq. To be considered a great he must beat the best and he must do it more regularly. Brighterdaysahead is the best Ireland has to offer so if he’s impressive, he might finally get the recognition his talents merit.
