A few weeks ago, after frosts that kept the turf hardened, he was taken to Tenby, on the sheltered southern coast of Wales, to limber up in the sands. Now he is pronounced fit although there were rumors last week that he was coughing and would not run. Eleven years old, a gelding, he was bred in Kentucky but not to race for steeples.
