    Well done Colour Vision backers.

    F&G - what on earth happened? He looked to have loads left with 4furlongs to go. Travelling markedly better than everything else. Then absolutely nothing.

    Jamie Spencer misread the pace of the race imho but I'm not sure the horse was ever travelling well enough.


    I think Colour Vision might lose this btw.

    I think Saddlers Rock would have won that if the rain hadn't come but he lost fair and square, although I'm not sure he settled. Was watching on a stream that kept freezing so I'll have to rewatch the race later. F&G no show!

    Yeats would still beat that lot now :)

    George narr mate winning distance will save him.

    ROTO he pulled hard but he is no superstar of the staying division - wouldn't be in a hurry to back him next year- unless they put hurdles in front of them ;)

    Disastrous. Picked out Colour Vision and then plumped for Fame and Glory because the ground softened up. F&G did get a knock early on so maybe we'll hear something later.

    you might be right RV half a length is bigger than i thought it was. i do think the bumps cost the horse though. it's an interesting one, you're probably right but we will see. Where was Coolmore's pacemaker, played into Colour Vision's hands that pace.

    I bet Frankie would have just loved to grab his gonads and invite Sheik Mohammed to kiss them.
