Aidan O’Brien’s cock-n-bull excuses won’t get any better when one of his wonder horses does not win. (I know, I had to start the season with a jibe at Ballydoyle) One of the English Guineas will be won by a French-trained horse. Camelot will be favourite for the St Leger by the end of June.
1. Discourse romps home for Al Zarooni and Frankie Dettori - to give Sheikh Mohammed yet another 1000 Guineas winner. 2. Saddler's Rock wins Ascot Gold Cup for John Oxx/Johnny Murtagh. 3. We have a Group One with only three runners.
Mine contained 2 totally awful ones (Top Offer...cor blimey!) but the other may just oblige at the recommended 33/1 as the lovely, and I do mean lovely, Amy Ryan is well in the running to win the Fillies Jockeys Championship. She could also incidentally with the Apprentices Crown as well. Two Championships in one season! Not even Mr Henderson or the McCoy boy can do that!
Barney, where's the Nicky Henderson horse? I thought you'd be tipping him to win the Cesarewitch or the Queen Alexandra at Ascot! Shame on you for deserting him!
