Looking back to The Irish Field from August 2005

Nick Mordin had a good and bad week. He said he didn’t understand all the fuss about George Washington, while identifying Horatio Nelson as a greater talent. The latter son of Danehill went on to win a Group 1 in France and run second to Sir Percy in the Dewhurst Stakes. He also suggested that readers watch out for the late developing Godolphin runner Echo Of Light, a son of Dubai Millennium. The colt had just won a maiden at Yarmouth and he went on to add six more victories, five at group level.
