    Rothchilds last 7 runners have won? Nice to see that the people who really need it are getting the luck in these difficult times. And they showed great humility and class in the post race interviews aswell, couldnt have went to a nicer or more deserving family imo.

    Saturdays are murder RV, once a week 50p e/w punters get scoop 6s up by picking names, theres 5 form horses in most of the handicaps and usually its pot luck if you fall onto the winner, even when there is good results like today, its still hard to fall on to them and the bookies still make a fortune, the best value is low key during the week.

    I thought he was coming to win with a typical Dettori finish, fair play to the winner he pulled out more, the best horse in the race won and I havent given him enough respect since he won the King George but I will stand by my belief that if he comes up against a real Group 1 1m2 horse he will get beat at that trip. Be interesting to see him up against Sea Moon in the King George this year and I wont be so quick to oppose him from now on.

    Just in from work, what a fantastic ride. Race panned out as expected- took up the running half a mile out, got his toe in an said come on then, pass me if you can.


    Really interested to see how he gets on back at optimum distance in the King George. Hope he faces a top class field and we find out where he stands in the mile and a half division, big shame Gosden didnt run him in last years Arc.



    Nice form boost for Frankel <laugh>

    That will be intresting to see, today was the 1st time i backed him, but I do fancy him against sea moon after todays performance, if that was a horse in need of a run, excited to see him next time. saying that I still think SYT would have won today if racing!

    I agree there Boris- he would be exposed for a bit of pace against a top notch 10f horse- he needs soft ground to save him on that score but he has a lot of stamina and is a real player now in the 1m4f division. Hope we have a good King George lineup.
