This doesn’t sound like him, wonder if he’s still rattled by the contaminated feed?

The problem is the COVID restrictions. His people cannot travel from the yard in Ireland to England with the horses. So he has a few people in England that meet the horses at the track. Obviously the driver or someone mixed the horses up.

Stradivarius to race in 2021!

https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/244140/stradivarius-to-race-on-in-2021-after-champions-day

  Great news!!!!!

 Trushan won the race: Stradivarius was way back --- it was only 13  days since his last race--- he looked hopelessly locked in on the inside but never really made much of a move-----i feel bad when he loses!

I wasn’t home to watch so sad to hear he didn’t do well.

  Sadly Anthony Van Dyck broke down in the Melbourne cup and had to be euthanized.

I first read this on another site and am in total shock. I was not even aware of the Melborne Cup-

 I follow European racing as some of us do here and this horse was always in the highest level races.
