Sun Maiden could be something special. We'll have to wait and see. My only slight concern is the distance. By Frankel out of the mare of a specialist miler I would have been happier with 10f.
Well that's answered that
 
Stuff this Royal Ascot malarkey, penguin suits and silly hats. The real equine action takes place at Ffos Las this evening. The lovely Rebecca has 2 and the underrated Tom Lacey has 1. So those 3 in a patent. Good luck all.

Yeah, but what colour hat will Rebecca be wearing. That's the REAL question :)
 
Nice boost for Without Parole with Ostilio winning, the horse he destroyed at Yarmouth giving 7 pounds, he must be a monster. We saw again today with Sun Maiden, inexperienced horses stepping up in class they need to be very good to do it and win. Without Parole went far too soon and still won against a load of horses with elite race experience, he should absolutely clean up the mile division this season, nothing around to beat him. Theres a good chance that this is Frankels best colt so far.

Why I normally avoid big field handicaps – First Eleven unlucky in running, blocked several times in the last two furlongs, flying at the death, post arrives a yard too soon for him.

Beaten in a three-way photo in a valuable handicap will see his rating go up a few more pounds; and next time out as an ‘unlucky loser’ he will be a short-priced favourite and get well turned over having had a hard race today.
 
Few quid @ 33/1 on the old boy 7 25 Lingfield - Bertie Blu Boy

England Expects 7 55 @ 20/1 could go well, Ali Stronge does well round here and EE is a good horse, could easily be up to winning this.
