IT is a pity that there are not more British raiders than there are. The Anglo-Irish rivalry usually adds an extra dimension to most things, not only for the ‘rivalry’, but also because it is only when the best horses from each jurisdiction compete that we can get an accurate picture of their relative abilities.
You can forgive the (would-be) raiders for not coming though. This is a new event in its current guise, it will probably take a little while for the weekend to embed itself into British trainers’ psyches.
