that was a nice win but did nothing more than we know already he beat a 91 rated animal as he should have . Joe I liked New Approach - quality horse still preferred HTN though - probs why I like Cristoforo Colombo
I like Cristoforo too, hes a nice animal. Designs On Rome is very highly regarded btw, hes no mug and im not at all surprised he has ran second there.
Got tobe honest RV, he is a bit different to most of your top 2 year olds- he has won in spite of the trip. He has all the stamina from his pedigree and has proved he has the speed. He looks a genuine contender for the Guineas. I didn't rate his debut form but it is very difficult to argue with his performances since, hopefully the Godolphin team will leave him with Jim Bolger, who is a super trainer.
Top juvenile proved that Toppy - but he achieved nothing today. Didn't even need to run to form to beat a 92 rated animal. Visually impressive I admit. WILL NOT win the guineas though 99% and I would say 75% he will not even be with Bolger next season.
Designs On Rome will be rated slightly higher after today I would think, 105 horse in 3rd. What is going to beat him in the Guineas RV?
I will tell you on the day of the race Joe yepp agree about Designs Of Rome as for the 105 horse it is the equivalent of GLOR NA MARA - absolute rogue. Managed to lose a Dundalk maiden I think. Was stunned he won a group race last weekend.
Anyone notice the result of the 3.20 at Chester today? Dr Koukash 1-2-3. Gabrial will be well pleased: 1st 2 Gabrial's Kaka (IRE) 8/1 2nd 4 Gabrial The Thug (FR) 12/1 3rd 3 Gabrial's Wawa 16/1 Dear me
I'm looking forward to "Gabrial's Knob Cheese", "Gabrial's Chicken Vindaloo" and "Gabrial's Copy of Razzle Tucked Under the Mattress"
I'm back on the sauce again..feeling much more agreeable currently!!..serious session last evening..listening to the Ramones until 7am Off for a cousins wedding in Getxo next week so getting some practice in....The old €40 Martinez fella cleared off without even saying goodbye to his team mates!! Bargain for Munich...worth every cent.
Dex I'm contemplating a decent ante post on Flemenstar for the Gold Cup - I just think this is a special horse with special connections ( ) and it could turn into a real fairy story. Want to be involved with him this season. What do you reckon mate?
I stuck him up on here on his first run over fences at 6/1 the night before and he was backed into 9/4 but beaten by Bog Warrior. Always loved him Oddy but how many horses his size ever make it...I agree it would be a fairy story. Actually think he might be better over 2m4f.
