The Major is back

Tuesday, 7th October 2008

Major Miller has been off the course since February 2006, but at last it seems he's about to return to action. All being well, he will run at Bangor on Saturday. 

He's certain to need the race, but he has been working fantastically, and Barry Geraghty is coming over from Ireland to ride him. His form, as regular readers will know, is superb - he has beaten Butler's Cabin, a Cheltenham and Irish National winner. Nicky Henderson asked us to persist with him as he has high hopes that he will turn out to be a good novice chaser.

Fingers crossed.

Apologies - I've bored so many people over Major Miller that I didn't mention again that I own the horse!
