    Blown away by Tiggy Wiggy there. If she stays to sprinting and makes expected improvement as a 3 year old she could dominate sprinting for a few years. Don't think it would be right to send her the Guineas route.

    She reminds me of a Wesley Ward type. She's fastest out of the stalls. Takes the lead. Never looks like losing. I'll be interested to see if she trains on. Something that good may be at her peak now.

    Agree Bob, she is what she is just now, a really fast 2yo sprinter, Anthem Alexander had the penalty today and Cursory Glance needs at least 7f already, everything went perfect for her today through the race and with the rain taking the sting out the ground without making it more of a test.

    Had some more on Cursory Glance at 20s with Boyles, early days but havent seen a better Guineas candidate as of yet.

    I back Gabrial's Kaka the last twice and it's ready to win a race if everything drops right. 10/1 is a bit tight but I've had a bit of it ew.

    I'm over the cliff with Russian Realm, last chance from me today but really think 96 is a mark she can win off

    Maybe Pat Smullen has a chance of a treble after Short Squeeze gets up late in the 3.05!

    Congrats on Short Squeeze, that was some ride by Smullen! Best flat jockey riding in Ireland IMO (not Joseph O'Brien).

    Pat Smullen was brilliant. Lets not forget however that is some horse who can quicken past horses already in full stride in the final half a furlong. Ride of the week.

    Well done Reebs <ok>

    Cheers London - it's a slightly sobering thought given Spencer's retirement announcement earlier, that half a second the other way and Smullen would be getting a Jamie Spencer type coating!

    Sit back and enjoy Taghrooda's winning performance next up ..... not a working man's price, but I did the forecast with Tasaday, having posted those in the comp!
