What a choker, Bert. Let’s hope Winker gets over this and shows what he can do at some stage - if he can get to the Guineas that will keep alive my 25-1 from last summer but for now it’s thinking caps on to find another one to back.

Well done for being so open about things and best of luck for getting Winker to the racecourse as soon as he’s ready.

Really sorry Bert to hear the news about Winker Watson but very impressed with the way you accept and cope with bad news. This game is full of highs and lows and let’s hope there are some highs around the corner.

It is a very long season and very tough for a horse to be spot on for the Guineas and still spot on at the time of the Sussex and the QEII. As long as he comes good at some stage of the season.

I am sorry for the disappointment and glad that you have the strength to see beyond it.
