    Not sure who has lodged the objection Princess but it seems to centre around Goldikova coming off the fence and squeezing up a number of horses, particularly Byword

    They probably thought there'd be a spectator riot if they disqualified Goldikova!

    English stewards would have chucked her out and banned the jockey for 6 weeks <laugh>

    Not sure how Goldi has got away with that. Sentimental decision me thinks.

    Don't think many backed the winner! Nick Mordin very strong on the 2nd in the Weekender.

    Classic now. No bet but hoping So You Think can do it. Must say more hope than expectation having seen the Euros' efforts on the dirt.

    So you think lads? I've not hid behind my views on this one in that the hype outweighed the horse's ability big time but I kinda hope he proves me wrong now....

    Maybe if Goldikova had won they would have been harsher, as it is it wouldn't make a huge difference either way I guess.

    I've backed Havre De Grace to score a victory for the ladies.

    I've lost so much money on SYT this season, will be bloody typical if he wins tonight and I'm not on.

    I wonder if Cyc is up and watching - muct be about 7AM his time ....................

    Thanks for the updates.

    No bet for me in the Classic, would be nice to see So You Think win but the European record in the race makes that unlikely. To be honest, as long as Uncle Mo gets turned over (to wipe the smile off Mr Repole's face following his comments about Frankel) I'll be happy :grin:

    Is this an appropriate moment to suggest that for sheer excitement the James Nicholson Champ Chase today pee pees over the entire Breeders Cup meeting?! No? Ok... :bandit:
