    I remember him as he was made FAV in Anti-Post lists for last years Cambridgeshire after showing an impressive turn of foot to win from what looked like an impossible position a furlong out at Sandown last September.
    I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with him.
    All the best for today <ok>

    Thought Herculean did it very, very well on debut and he must now be considered Promising with a capital ‘P’. It will be interesting to see what they do with him next. Although, it has to be remembered that, the same owner has also got Expert Eye.

    Anyone who took that 50/1 can, at the moment, be quite chuffed. Now generally 25/1 although Stan James are as low as 16’s.

    Princess, while you’re around, is there a 3rd Frankel – African Rose for next season??? The original, don’t forget people, Fair Eva, set to return next week at Donny.

    That’s the most outrageous thing I’ve ever read on this forum! And quite frankly that's saying something! Cor blimey. No. No. And no again.

    You get half a point though. The answer is it is now 10,002 days since Liverpools last won British football's top flight league.

    Barney - African Rose has a yearling colt by Kingman and is back in foal to Frankel. I'm not aware of her having a foal this year so not sure if she was rested or slipped.

    Travelled strongly in midfield, smooth headway on outer early in straight, led over 1f out, ridden and found little final furlong, worn down and headed last strides

    OUCH!!!!!

    What an absolutely brilliant way for BROCTUNE PAPA GIO to end his racing career. A true servant to this forum thanks to Heis.

    Happy Retirement grand old boy!
