    Sarafina getting quite worked up before the start. A small worry if you've taken a shortish price.

    Would fancy Midday if she was drawn slightly better. Can't have either Sea Moon, St Nicholas Abbey or Await The Dawn.

    Probably, but not with most of the current seventeen members. Only a handful of the Northern European countries can live with Germany's interest rates. Those of us that were sceptical from the start expected it to fall apart eventually. Greece are small fry - when Italy and Spain go they will take out most of France's banks. Six weeks ago they had six weeks to fix this but the G20 was hijacked by a wooden horse. George Soros and friends will clean up on this mess soon.

    and that is why I laugh at the Breeders Cup

    Well done young O'Brien, he certainly is proving me wrong with his impressive work in the saddle. I do hope he wants a long NH career when he has to give up the flat.

    BOOOOOMMMMM with the EW money. <cracker>

    Pretty happy with that shout.

    Congrats to the O'Briens. Brilliant from Joseph. He's a young man of great poise and talent. He might get good opportunities but he deserves all the success he gets.

    I laugh at it because people state that its this really top event, it doesn't compare to the Arc, and now we have a much better event in the UK. SNA is a very good horse, and one I do like, but on the Arc form it suggests that this meeting isn't what many would like to think it is.

    Plus its like running the Derby at Chester <laugh>

    He did it so well today. He was so much more relaxed and Joseph just let him settle in behind. The tight tracks seem to help him because he can stay in perfect range and I think it suits the nimbler horses rathee than gallopers on turf.

    Sea Moon a very good 2nd and he has a huge future next season.

    SNA doesn't want these stupid 4 horse races that Nass always has a go at him for losing - needs a good pace and to be handy. It pisses me off when you get people saying ooo he needs a course with a long straight to get going. No more like he didn't handle Epsom that day you ****tards and he still won

    I commented when he was loading that SNA looked far more relaxed than for the Arc.

    Agree that Sea Moon ran a cracker. He broke slowly but ran on well. Big player in the major races next year.
