    Reminiscent of Uncle Mo last year. Perfect trip and impressive down the stretch.

    Bedtime now but left a $20 win bet on Stacelita - seems to be a lot of confidence around her chances.

    Best of luck for the rest of the evening <ok>

    Zen - I think even if the race was run any which way you want tacatically by the other runners, Corey Nakata rode her so well she would have picked anything off...

    Best ride and run of the Cup so far...

    By far the best Redcgull.

    Cheering for a European triumph in the F&M Turf. Would be good to see Nahrain take it for Varian. Not sure she'll be quite up to it though.

    It would be some start in his career for Varian were he to take this here... Has a chance with Nahrain but i think may come up short...

    But i cant see past the fav Stacelita... we shall see...

    Literally 'scratched'!!! Sounds like a bit of a joke. Maxime Guyon looks livid.

    Farcical bunched finish. Turned into a sprint seemingly.

    Pfff what a terrible and ultimately farcical race.

    I think that had Misty For Me had just a better run at the start, she may well have been there for the win...

    Strange race by Stacelita... not a great ride for me...

    I'm going to take a chance on Ask The Moon in the Ladies Classic. Has two really smart pieces of form two starts back, surely must be better than latest run. Well drawn to dictate matters. difficult to split the two market principles.

    Come on So You Think! <party>

    I'd love nothing more than him to stuff the American's on the Dirt tomorrow.

    He stays in training next year so Frankel will surely get an opportunity to stuff him next year. That will put an end to all this 'Uncle Mo can beat Frankel' bollocks. <ok>

    On a more serious note he'll need to break well. I'm planning on having a look at his past races to see what he's like out of the gates. He'll need to seem electric in comparison to the Brits to have a chance because the home team break so so fast. In the 5 stall he'll be right in the middle with dirt in his face if he isn't out smartly.
