    I think so.

    Dante preview
    "His sire produced Zenyatta and the dam (Talented) is by Bustino out of a mare by Mill Reef. I would love to see this one win and go on to Derby glory."

    Mill Reef, Bustino, same dad as Zenyatta, owned by the Queen.

    Perfect. I'm really looking forward to the Epsom Derby.

    Great follow up to the wedding I suppose. Stranger things have happened, but not for mine Ron. More on it later mate. 12.34am, bed time.

    Possibly but certainly not one I've warmed to after yesterday. The price is ridiculous & just have a feeling one will get the better of him? Then again he could hose up but as it stands he's not one for me.

    Nor me at that price FB. But it's difficult finding one to beat it; unless there's one we haven't yet seen as a 3yo. I don't think many go straight to the Derby and win.

    The form pick for sure, bar the 2000 Guineas the Dante is the hottest trial, and the Guineas winner isn't running, so Carlton House is a worthy favourite! As I've said before Horses such as Motivator and Authorised in recent years, won the Dante in far more taking fasion, yet were not quoted as short as CH directly after the race!

    It's ashame for anyone who fancies CH, that he is owned by the queen, as your going to have to take a Shergar like price, and Shergar won his 2 trial races by 10 and 12 lenghs on the bridle! So the Derby will mist likely be a race to savour for me, as I'm not taking 5/4 about a 1 and a half lengh Dante winner, just because he's the Queens :biggrin:

    I agree that is a ridiculous price. Might have been value at 5/1.
