Hi all, horse is called sacred act running in the 5pm at ascot.
He's a fragile horse but touch wood all has been fine. Wouldn't want it to get too soft. Hard to gauge how fit he is but even not fully fit he could well be good enough to win. He will be held up and will be heart in mouth stuff as he's stops when he gets to the front. He will travel like a dream and it's whether he has the fitness to run them down. Want a nice hard pace to run at.
Worth watching his race at sandown if you have the chance!

I remember him as he was made FAV in Anti-Post lists for last years Cambridgeshire after showing an impressive turn of foot to win from what looked like an impossible position a furlong out at Sandown last September.
I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with him.
All the best for today <ok>
 
Thought Herculean did it very, very well on debut and he must now be considered Promising with a capital ‘P’. It will be interesting to see what they do with him next. Although, it has to be remembered that, the same owner has also got Expert Eye.

Anyone who took that 50/1 can, at the moment, be quite chuffed. Now generally 25/1 although Stan James are as low as 16’s.

Princess, while you’re around, is there a 3rd Frankel – African Rose for next season??? The original, don’t forget people, Fair Eva, set to return next week at Donny.
 
Was it Arsenal winning the league title?

That’s the most outrageous thing I’ve ever read on this forum! And quite frankly that's saying something! Cor blimey. No. No. And no again.

You get half a point though. The answer is it is now 10,002 days since Liverpools last won British football's top flight league.

Barney - African Rose has a yearling colt by Kingman and is back in foal to Frankel. I'm not aware of her having a foal this year so not sure if she was rested or slipped.

First up PLEASANT SURPRISE 2/1 Saint Cloud 2:40, this progressive filly from the in form Luca Cumani stable should easily be good enough to win

Travelled strongly in midfield, smooth headway on outer early in straight, led over 1f out, ridden and found little final furlong, worn down and headed last strides

OUCH!!!!!
