Good luck to Mac Love in the Diomed Stakes.
He'll probably be last but hey... he doesn't have a thing to prove any more.
He should be lazing on a beach in Tahiti sipping drinks with little umbrellas at this point.
Hope he comes home safe.

Good luck to the royal horsie and all but I shall stick with Native Khan even if Mr. Fallon chose not to ride him.
