It was a good day, First Eleven was unlucky then we might have had a Frankel 1-2

GIDU, VERACIOUS, GANAYEM , QAZYNA , BETTY F and ROSTROPOVICH tomorrow.

Baghdad ran a blinding race and with the determination he no doubt inherited from ‘Dad’. First Eleven ran very well, first misjudgment I’ve seen Dettori make in years. If he’d of stayed on the line rather than try pushing right I think it would have been a one, two. (That’s 4 wins and a second for my money box this week ).
I actually think Gidu might surprise the pundits tomorrow.

And Spanish Point wins by 4 lengths at Lepardstown this evening. Just watched it on At the races but don’t know how to paste the video, sorry.

Well it wasn't to be today, Rostropovich did well, Veracious did very well to get third after her first run since October last year and the winner smashing the 1m record by over a second, she will come on for that race.

Agree, I think Rostropovich will also improve from his race, it’s the most positive I’ve seen him run work wise. I don’t think there was much that could have taken that race from Stradivarius, even with the shoe incident she wasn’t going to give way.

Luke Harvey just interviewing Tom Queally on ITV to kill time due to the delayed start:

LH: "So Tom, do you sometimes sit down on a winter evening on your own and rewatch your victories on Frankel?"
TQ: "No. I've got a life."

<laugh> <ok>

He’s bitter. So the story goes, he was angry at not getting a retainer with Juddmonte after Frankel. That’s why he doesn’t appear in the documentary Channel 4 made about Sir Henry and Frankel - he refused to do it.

It did seem like a very bitter reply.

It's sad he feels that way, he sat on the best horse of his life for 3 years, i imagine there were plenty of other top jockeys who would have loved to have had the chance.

Must admit I didn't see it this way. Whether Quelly had been made Juddmonte's jockey or not, I think he had every right to answer Harvey's silly question the way he did. He would have been a very sad and sentimental man to have answered differently.
To me it was Harvey who looked the sad man.
