Sad news from
@RacingPost
Tributes have been paid to the "remarkable" trainer Milton Bradley, and his unique ability to transform cheaply bought horses, following his death at the age of 88
He trained for over 50 years and was most famous for transforming The Tatling

For all those twits slating CRACKSMAN can i just confirm a few things:
1. He is a horse not a machine
2. He finished 2nd beating 5 other racehorses who presumably must be useless based on aforementioned comments
3. Give the winner POET'S WORD some credit and his connections

Wonderful beautiful Pige - truly a horse of a lifetime and so special to me of course let alone who knew him personally such as you Pad
