Who was it who contributed to this group a couple of years ago who was 
often extolling the virtues of Atlantic Quest in handicaps of around a mile?

Whoever it is might be interested to know that AQ ran in its first Point 
to Point yesterday at the Llangeinor Hunt meeting at Laleston in South 
Wales!

After one or two hesitant jumps AQ settled to a steady pace but was 
pulled up after about 2 miles of the 3 mile race.

The horse ran in the Confined Hunts race as maidens in ptp have to be 
true maidens, and wins on the flat count even if the horse has never 
seen a jump before! Mind you, I,m surprised someone didn,t at least try 
him over hurdles at some point.

I think it may have been Dave Mac, but could be wrong.Still it was good to 
hear the Horse has maintained its form in a different format LOL

But,there again we all have our "back it whatever horse(S)" That reminds me 
I`m still never gonna back TEXAS GOLD again,well if it is tried over 
Hurdles? no! No! *GRIN*
