Really nice to see him win and huge congrats to the connections.

Well done, Mr.Alton.

I didn't realize he'd been injured... looks like he's feeling pretty damned good now!

(Cheers to the lovely Lady Kipling for very nice run too).

edit - Oh ed very bummed about Shez Sinsational....

I added her to retirements.
