I know you are not alloweed to talk on here about him, but i see the Pontiff had trial rides at LH today . Someone mentioned he bwas on the comeback trail before Christmas. I was told he had to have so many trial rides before they certified him back to ride. Would  that be correct. And if so he would have had what they required before now surely. Or is he just riding Dave Harrisons and giving him his thoughts on them?

    Paul has had an extended layoff due to an injury that required surgery and will return to race riding in the near future. 

    I watched his two trials a couple of weeks ago and he sat on like days of old, looked very in the saddle.

    "Looked very ???? in the saddle". Itchy, uncomfortable, lithe, bloated, happy, sad, etc

    The only horse that performed badly pulled up with a throat infection. Think he held his own.
