Well it was indeed a gutsy performance by Bel Esprit, but it really was beyond it's best distance.

Beware Richard Freedman, firstly he say Bel Esprit won't get the distance, then today he tips the horse to win, and after the race says the distance was beyond him. So which is it Richard? What's the deal here?

Luckily I had a nice win on Pernod.
