Alpha Centauri has run a cracker there considering the vet say she wasn't right after. Looked to be going past Laurens pretty easily before taking a false step at the furlong pole.
 
Certain that Lah Ti Dar wins the Leger if she had more experience coming into it. She was travelling comfortably in midfield until the pace quickened where I think greenness has caught her out and she dropped back a few lengths. To be fair to her she's stayed on as well as the winner.

It is disappointing that we won't see Laurens taking on Roaring Lion in the Champion Stakes. The filly will go to Longchamp for the Opera I'd guess. She has proved herself an example of class, consistency and toughness over 8f to 10f and only Alpha Centauri eclipses her (even though she was beaten today).

shes hit a flat spot in most of her races, just takes a bit of time to get going
 
Nelson went a proper gallop for the trip and had the field strung out, she just got caught flat footed again and wasnt good enough to overcome it like she did at Newmarket. She was on Kew Gardens tail most of the way and he took a few lengths out of her and maintained it, the best horse won.

Was steadily run until halfway and Nelson quickened it from there caught out few then like Ltd and Dxb
 
Wouldnt describe it as steadily run but its irrelevant anyway, she couldnt get going fast enough to go with Kew Gardens, whether it was into a decent pace, which I think it was for the trip, or not.

Nelson was in the race to set it up for Kew Gardens and he done that perfectly, Lah Ti Dar was perfectly positioned tracking the winner.

You say it was greeness that stopped her from going with Kew Gardens, I say she takes a while to get going.

I nearly agree.
It was excellent tactics from the Ballydoyle team.
Frankie had her too far back early on and she didnt pick up as quickly as Kew Gardens.
However, when she did pick up she kept hanging in, showing greeness, forcing Frankie to change his whip hand and alter her course. The best horse won but she will be a much better horse with that defeat under her belt.
