    O'Brien nailed on to say both Churchill and LB will "come on for the run" after getting beat a neck here.

    Agree entirely on Eminent. Do want Eminent to win but, as you say, think he needs at least 1-1/4 m.
    I'll just watch and enjoy the 2000 Gns today!

    He should get a strong pace here though and it may play to his strength.

    It's a good place to start them off.

    Looking forward to see that great stride on Barney Roy eating up the Rowley Mile.

    Easily done by Churchill. Well done on the fave men <ok> Absolutely murdered them. Not bad for a prep.

    Good winner but how much did that stumble cost Barney Roy? Need to see the replay but he looked like he nearly went down on his nose

    Al Wukair's jockey the latest in a long line of French pilots to completely **** up the Rowley Mile.

    Thought Barney was unlucky as he did not have the clearest of paths. I think the next time the two meet I'd be backing the Godolphin horse.
    Can't see Churchill lining up at Epsom

    To be fair they did let the O'Brien horses do as they like really. The opposition moved out wide and more or less said, here lads you 3 grab the rails and set it up there, ok. No doubt the best horse won but in terms of using some intellect to maybe make a race of it...well, it was non existent among the others. Candy from a baby was probably the analogy Aidan was thinking along the lines of.

    Agreed. The best jockey, on probably the best horse, on the rail...game over.

    Shame that both EMINENT and DREAM CASTLE failed to oblige, and no doubt some people will use that as a stick to beat Frankel's sire record with, but to get 2 runners in a Classic at the first opportunity with reasonable chances is good going. I'm sure it won't belong before we have a domestic G1 winner for Frankel.
