Big Bucks

They came in their thousands to Aintree yesterday to hail a true champion and they were not disappointed, a wonderful record 17th consecutive success for the imperious Big Bucks. Great to be there and also to see Monets Garden among the former champions on parade, on his toes and looking wonderful, and an excellent day's racing rounded off with an outstanding weight carrying performance from Cape Tribulation.
