    Nothing to change my thoughts that I posted on the Derby thread during the week. It is a good race, a clutch of horses still unexposed.

    Just trying to work out where I can get a without Australia tricast.

    Hope its a great race, no excuses and that the best one goes and wins.

    Anyone getting involved in the Coronation Cup?

    The ground still looks good to me and for that reason Flintshire should land it before going on to have a solid season. He is well balanced and has a turn of foot, which is important for anyone trying to beat Cirrus.

    As for the dash, you might as well pick up a lottery ticket!

    I would have no argument with that Hawkeye as it would be great to Jim Crowley get a group 1 success.

    I have actually backed Ambivalent ew however as the 8 runners have stood their ground meaning ew 3 places.

    oh no there were 8 this morning when I backed it. I have just seen Battalion a recent withdrawal. Thanks for letting me know I may have been feeling happy at a third place.

    I hate to lower the tone but Emma is looking stunning today.

    You have to hand it to him. Brilliant. Just shows how tough these horses are when allowed to mature.

    Hope he is OK though, very lame.

    Magnifique from Cirrus Des Aigles! If only he was eligible to run in the Arc. Hope the horse is ok.

    What a star, do hope he's OK as he looks a bit lame? Frankel really did beat a damn good racehorse on his last and final run.

    I am a flat man through and through but my only gripe is that too few horses run at age 4 onwards, CDA shows how they can improve and win top races year after year.

    On another note Aiden has just said there has never been a horse at Ballydoyle excite him as much as Australia has !
