IT is a shame that Postponed had to be taken out of this afternoon’s King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, that a poor scope on Wednesday ruled him out. It would have been good to see him take on the youngsters, the three-year-olds and the four-year-olds, in his bid to become [startling statistic alert 1:] the first five-year-old to win it since Daylami in 1999, and [startling statistic alert 2:] the first dual King George winner since Swain in 1997/98.
