    Cracking result for whoever tipped up hills offering 4's I think for winning over 4 lengths, just got double sp in betfred for same margin not quite 4's but a winner is a winner even if my fc blew out

    Astrology hit 1.26 in running Camelot touched 9/2 <laugh> I never had a penny on the race but there was only ever one winner don't know what race they were watching. He was always getting there.

    Despite what I have said on other threads, that was impressive; faster than SNA earlier AND CARRYING THE SAME WEIGHT!.

    Bloody good colt.

    Totally different race, can't compare.

    RV, he touched 9/2? Blooming nora, I need to start using betfair. I never had a seconds doubt about him, so special.

    He would be the first colt since Nijinsky to lift the triple crown ................ that is the stuff of legends and will surely be worth more in terms of a stallion than winning the King George or Arc?

    Agree Stick I posted several weeks,before the Dante that Bonfire wasn't a genuine contender.

    Nice run from Main Sequence for e/w and Astrology ran well considering he was sacrificed to an extent.More to come from these two.

    The rest have little to build on at G1 level.

    Main Sequence got outpaced 3 out but stayed on well. Possibly a St Leger contender but Camelot 1/3 for that and certainly wasnt stopping was he!

    Look at the Queen...wonder if she is thinking "fecking paddys"

    They took a chance with Primevere over twelve furlongs, James Doyle rode her like a non-stayer and it looked like she did not get home &#8211; she was changing her legs all the time in the last furlong.

    I should have just left them alone today!

    Great performance in a weak Derby. I hope he goes for the triple crown now and cannot see anything getting near him in that race as he stayed so well today, very good horse. On this point though i feel he may have been very fortunate that the Guineas was so very heavy as i feel he may not have won on good to firm ground as he stayed so well today that a mile is clearly not his trip. I feel the form of that Guineas weekend will not hold anywhere due to the ground, but that really made all the proper Milers not stay the trip that day. If he would still have won on better ground over the mile and wins the Leger then as Rainbow states, Machine.

    The question now is will he take on Frankel over 10 furlongs?
