    Sensational.

    Wonderful for our sport.

    Oddy, Lord Grimthorpe as good as confirmed he is to be tried at 10f next season.

    Very interesting the secional times on the BBC - he covered the furlong from 3 out to 2 out in 10.99 seconds and that is where he won the race. None of them could go with him

    Just got my first look at the win. Brilliant. Frankel took them up, then beat them up.

    If memory serves Oddy, PN has in the past posted sectionals on the horse, which show the same thing. He seems to let rip three out.

    Is it my imagination, or is the Champion Stakes a cracking field?

    17500 quid for sixth place - just south of 3/4 of a million for the winner

    Everything went right for SYT there, he was beaten by the better horse today I'm afraid

    Snow Fairy has to go down as the unlucky horse in that race, think she would have won if getting out earlier
