Interesting that Richard Hughes has been jocked off this horse. I'm not sure if it's true but I read in the Racing Post comments section that the owner has signed a retainer with Johnny Murtagh. Does anyone know if this is as a result of the rides that Hughes gave it at the Curragh and subsequently in the St James's Palace?
Not sure of the reasons CG but at 5/1 Dubawi Gold looks a stonkingly good bet to me today. I think he has the beating of Excelebration over 7F
Dickie was on the morning line and stated that he was due to ride Strong Suit in the race so Tinkler (of Stobart fame) put Murtagh on and they didn't want to jock him off at the last moment.
If Excelebration runs to anything like his Greenham/German Guineas form he should hose up. Although he never really tested Frankel in the Greenham he stayed within a length of him for 2 or 3 furlongs so clearly gets on with the track. Dubawi Gold for Me as regressed since his Guinea's runs. He as alot to make up I feel...
