    If I were to take a horse from today for the Arc it would be Savethelastdance. She ran a fine race on unsuitable ground to be 2nd and surely the Arc will be run on more testing going. 16/1 available and you’d have to think connections will aim her at the race.

    Agree with that Oddy, in terms of the Oaks; not so sure about the day though. The ground could be significant

    EMILY UPJOHN has improved considerably from 3 to 4. The front two pulled some way clear of some pretty decent yardsticks.

    Good start to the evening.
    Things could get very interesting.

    Unlucky Florida, in front before the line, in front after the line but not in front where it counted.
    Gave me a proper buzz as I had not one but two trixies running on it!

    I would not rule out her running in the King George. Gosden sent Oaks winner Taghrooda to take on – and beat – the boys at Ascot. Of course, Taghrooda then got beaten in the Yorkshire Oaks and was third in the Arc behind Treve.

    Thanks mate, I got 20's for that :1980_boogie_down:

    I thought you were very unlucky with RF. Stewards should have looked at that...

    Someone in front off me thought there was interference. I’m not complaining, we competed. Nobody wants to talk to second.

    Surely the Eclipse is the race for Soul Sister or perhaps the Nassau.

    It was, we’ve had a great season with Rocky and he goes off for his summer holidays now. Having a 20/1 winner in the last helped ease the pain.

    You might be right. Gosden has a problem that surely most trainers would love to have keeping them awake at night: two top class middle distance fillies for whom the same races would be the targets. One of them could go pot-hunting in France.

    They could leave Soul Sister in the Eclipse and see how strong a field it looked like being. We will have some idea of how strong the three year old colts are after the Derby and we already know some of the older horses that are bound to be at Sandown.

    It would certainly make sense to run Soul Sister in the Nassau and send Emily Upjohn to the Yorkshire Oaks. That would avoid the awkward situation for that old age pensioner Dettori of having to choose between them. I am guessing he would pick the three year old and leave Rab Havlin to win on the other one. <laugh>
