Minding much the best- get her in the top 10f events at Sandown and York. There's nothing to beat her Colt or filly!

Very good performance considering the traffic issues, regardless of what she beat.

Next stop the boys IMO.
 
MINDING much the best there. Everything went wrong but class won out even with a bit of a bollocks ride in my view. 6/5 was quite nice too.

I think the Eclipse might come too soon. I would have thought the King George should be a possibility or the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood
 
Arod now out which really opens up the next at Epsom - Arod could not be backed in my view because of the ground but at the same time it was hard to back against him. My punting head says Decorated Knight looks the most progressive of these but if Tulius has got his perfect conditions and Sea of Flames at a big price could not be discounted if trying to go from the front.

Decorated Knight to win
Decorated Knight & Tulius reversed forecast.

Never spotted this until now. Nice work there with the R/F Blue
 
I find Fahey an incredibly difficult trainer to assess when it comes to predicting what way his runners will go at any point in time. Perhaps that's a good thing, but I just think you can never be to sure what you will get with one of his.

Winners so far today:

Catterick: 1:50 Queen Kindly 2/5 fav; 3:35 Invermere 6/1; 4:55 Luiz Vaz De Torres 18/1
Epsom: 2:35 Imshivalla 25/1

I think that's 4 winners from 6 runners and look at the prices <yikes>

He's lucky I've not backed any of his then or he wouldn't be short of duck eggs for dinner later <ok>
 
Catch word should out run his 20/1 odds in 7.05 at Ltown

Best of luck ste. I actually was drawn to one in that earlier. Billyford @ 50/1 for Liam Roche. Eye catching booking of Fallon and this lad was a useful performer at one point. He was rated in the 90's and races off a paltry 52 now, obviously being very regressive but some optimism that they still try with him. Maybe an improved effort today! Last win was back in 2012, won all barring 1 of his races at Dundalk and he is now an 11 y-o...what more do ya want <laugh>

Very speculative.
 
I think we've seen another very nice horse of O'Brien's there in War Decree. Was heavily supported throughout today and won cosy first time up.

Withdrawn on Veterinary advice at the start was Billy. Betfair settled my bet as lost, just been on to them and they are looking into it for me after a considerable time chatting!

No surprise that common sense finally prevailed. No idea why Chapple-Hyam waited so late, it was never going to dry up enough for him. Two trips out in the horsebox for no good reason (Newbury and Epsom). The horse will probably forget to start the next time he is intended to run because visits to the racecourse are becoming just a change of scenery in different stables.
 
I only got to see The Oaks once (in a betting shop on the way to the station).

I think Ryan Moore was obviously concerned about his filly’s stamina as he looked to save ground right from the start. He stayed left from the stalls knowing that they would cross to the inside rail and he would have a position there. He stayed on the inside around Tattenham Corner but after this he found trouble. I felt that the race slowed up early in the straight plus Minding had horses in front of her who were coming back, to which Moore should perhaps have been more aware. Once he pulled her out and got her balanced, her class allowed her to catch the runner up.

I would not be surprised if she dropped back to ten furlongs now. After running in three Classics, they could give her a break until the Nassau, although I would love to see her at Sandown on 2nd July. The Lads have a couple of other fillies that they can aim at the twelve furlong events like the Irish Oaks and Yorkshire Oaks; and they may want to see what the colts do before pitching her in against them over this distance.
