Opinion Piece – Michael Guerin
By Michael Guerin There are lessons to be learned from last night’s Horse of the Year awards. The winners waited a lot longer than usual to hold up their trophies, with Covid hijacking the evening and even last night’s split function at Addington was complicated by Covid restrictions.
