Re: The GR I SA Handicap and The GR I Kilroe Mile
Here's The finish of the Kilroe Mile:
Bal A Bali...got up in the final strides with Castellano in the irons.
What A View...2nd
Bolo...3rd
Ring Weekend...4th
Dortmund looked very uncomfortable over the surface, every step was tentative...a return to the dirt should bring him back to form.

Re: The GR I SA Handicap and The GR I Kilroe Mile
Shaman Ghost just seems to get better with age, I thought he wasn't going to win it today. Big effort by him and by Midnight Storm.
I should never count out What a View! Bal a Bali was a toss to me...oops!

Re: The GR I SA Handicap and The GR I Kilroe Mile
Here's the replay of the Kilroe Mile, you can easily see how uncomfortable Dortmund was right out of the gate. Watch as he never gets into a smooth stride down the backside as he actually stumbles along before taking back all together. TJ
