Les Bridge has done it again. The 85-year-old Hall Of Fame trainer has won a Golden Slipper with Sir Dapper, a Melbourne Cup with Kensei an Everest with Classique Legend and now a second Doncaster with Celestial Legend, 39 years after Row Of Waves gave him his first. But as good as those horses were, Bridge believes three-year-old Celestial Legend could be his best yet. “This is some horse. I’ve had a lot of good horses, but this horse is unbelievable,” Bridge said.
He also admitted that while he felt fit coming into Saturday, riding on the testing track had started to take its toll before his Doncaster Mile triumph eased the pain. “I didn’t feel that bad, but once I had a couple of rides it really set in and to come out and win, it makes it all so much worth it,” he said. Earlier, Chain Of Lightning has relished the rain-affected conditions at Randwick to upset a host of Australasia’s best sprinters in the Group 1 TJ Smith Stakes.
