GEM N EM - when questioned regarding the improved performance connections advised the mare had been held up for clear racing room throughout the run home at its last start and had received an economical run today. GEM N EM being questioned for an “improved performance” doesn’t make much sense. This horse was absolutely stiff last start and would have won with clear room! It had two thirds in its last three starts before that so no improvement at all just a better trip.

What is going on!  

sadly, those days have passed...  happy to snap some photos of them if I be on course! ps. amusingly, LR obviously didn't have a suitable photo!  noting in my post how camera shy Martin was, it happen not so long ago Woodville RC put out a book, used one of my photos for Bill Pratt, claimed they got it of someone else! sigh, couldn't be bothered arguing with them!
