Typical of my day - wanted to have my last fiver on Bated Breath but was 5 seconds too late and they were off
get in. Shame Fallon wasn't able to ride Hoof It, I think he would have made the difference. I can't wait for the big rematch at Ascot (given that they turn up because its not a true G1 race)
Bloody camera angle. Thought Hoof it had got up as they passed the line but the camera clearly showed him as 3rd. Good run though I thought from Hoof It. Definitely a Group 1 horse.
Nass best horse won - Dream Ahead cost himself at least 2 lengths hanging all over the track - it was only so close because when he quickened up he went all over the track. Dream Ahead best by far but if he is going to do that all the time he will get beat a few times
Don't agree from first viewing RV, I thought Dream Ahead hanging caused Hoof It all sorts of problems and that cost him as much as it did DA. I thought Hoof It travelled like the best horse but I was impressed by the front three who all ran to what they are capable of.
Phew, glad my bookie gives first-past-the-post too, just possible Dream Ahead could be relegated to third, but I doubt it..................
disapointed with Arch Fire there- not sure he was on the right side when making his run late - defs not giving up on him yet
Sounds as though Hoof It was a bit unlucky there and, had he finished second, might well have been awarded the race. Think it would have been wrong for DA to lose the race though. I think Hoof It will be a star next year.
