Robert The Brave, trained by Paul Webber and ridden by Chris Catlin, completed an allweather hat-trick when seeing off Esclarmonde in the 1m4f handicap.

Four Miracles picked up reasonably well for second, while Esclarmonde was third.

One of the charges that the Inquisition leveled against the Cathars had to do with Dianistic or Tantric sexual practices and I believe the sexual or Bhakti ''union'' (Yoga) was part of their training and system which highly valued women including giving them high priestly functions and leadership roles including Esclarmonde de Foix who is reminiscent of Hypatia of Alexandria, who both should be studied as a great heroine for all time.
