Dettori absolutely schooled them there. Always in the right possy, up near the pace when it was impossible to make ground from the rear while brain dead Moore sits and waits, then still gets him checked when trying to win the race. Unreal how people rate him so highly.
Spot on Ardent. Brilliant ride by Frankie. I believe GG won the 2000 Gns in a faster time than Frankel, so certainly no donkey. Definitely the best of the 3 Gns winners
A shocker from Moore. Why the hell he left awtaad shut the door on him is mystifying. Then having to go around the outside of him. And finishing with a horse that was full of running
Have to disagree with this. Rewatch the race again, Frankie had around 6 lengths in hand on them at the top of the straight during which RM was too busy focussing on Atwaad. Frankie kicked at the perfect time whilst the other 2, to me, seemed to be in a race with each other and let the winner slip them. On the big day Frankie is still the man, think of the Arc, Derby last year. Moore is a very good jockey but look at the Oaks, Derby and this ride today and he does seem to get it wrong plenty on the biggest stage.
I did correct that 2 minutes before your post beefy; but I suspect you may still disagree. I wouldn't argue about it to be honest.
It was a slowly run race aswell. The godolfin pacemaker spent the first three furlongs backing them up to try and find Emotionless. Awtaad was keen and even Galileo Gold was keen early on in the race. That race was setup for someone to nick it off the front.
Some effort that was by Jennies Jewel. She had them all cooked bar one coming in to the straight. I would have been gutted if she had got collored close home.
Pedestal in the last. I don't know what chance the two American runners have but if they aren't up to this pedestal looks to big a price. He was green on both his runs so should he be an easier ride today he will be better than his win Tipperary. Mister Trader looks the most useful of these but is too short in the market for me.
