    Surely seven heavens in the 3.45 ascot for gosden is a wheelbarrow job but, my judgement is unreliable at the moment.

    Sounds convincing to me! I was worried about last run which wasn't very impressive at all.

    Was behind white cliffs who looks special and the drop back in trip will help. I think frankel is gonna be a very versatile stallion trip wise. Remember Nass I did add the caveat that my judgement is unreliable

    Doesn't Sue Magnier name all their horses ? She must have been out in her expansive (or expensive perhaps) garden at the time :)

    Shame she doesn't do the booze shopping, could be some very interesting race commentaries with those names: "Bulmers takes it up from Bacardi Breezer, Baileys in third and Tennents Super 4th. Then comes Thunderbird followed by Johnnie Walker on the outside of Old Speckled Hen and the very disappointing J2O is last" <laugh>

    I don't envy any of the large operations when it comes to naming their 2yos each year. The team at Darley have around 400 across the globe to name each time. But I think Juddmonte do it the best with about 150 in Europe and the USA as most of their names appear well thought out.

    My goodness, no guarantee at all, that much I do know, but Popsies Joy in to 8/1 (in many places) from 14/1 earlier. Hope that means she's fit to go FTO this year, at least.

    Guess not! Oh well, that's racing.......:emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Really green yet ran on so well and stayed dourly, which is rare on debut in a 1m3f for a frankel horse. Brilliant performance, could be looking at the derby winner

    Moore should win the other 3 races now. Had a feeling he sidestepped Ascot for a reason

    Well, not bad for me. Should have been 3 winners but can't complain about Mittens (3rd)
