    Nice to see Estimate put the bad Goodwood run behind her, looks like she probably wants further. Gold Cup trip is about her minimum.

    30 mins until Sole Power makes my week

    Dam, just noticed us Sole Power backers are in trouble if Paddy Power knows much..he's longest about SP! Loved the fact he was always shortest about SL and SP in the UK this season when they won. Paddy knows...:bandit:

    Shouldn't oppose Sole Power, but I've had a tiny win bet on Rangali in the Nunthorpe, to make it interesting.

    OMG (bit behind time) how did he do that? It was like trying to run past people on a crowded underground platform. It looked impossible, then whoosh. Incredible.

    For all the praise, if that gap had closed - and there was every chance it could have - he'd not have been placed. And if he'd forced the horse through he'd be facing the stewards now! There's a fine line between hero and zero!

    I was gutted for Extortionist, who was finishing fast, but not quite fast enough to save my RFC :D

    Think you do Hughsie a disservice, it was a master class in keeping a horse covered up and plotting the perfect route at the perfect time.

    I really couldn't disagree more chaps. The way I see that ride is he got himself into trouble several times and just happened to be on the best sprinter in the field by such a large margin that he's been able to get himself out of trouble at the end.
