”Wouldn’t go that far, the last 2 years it rained and the ground conditions changed.”
I honestly think the previous 2 winners win on any ground.
Christmas Day already beat Pierre Bonnard and James J Braddock well this season and A Boy Named Susie gave the form a real nice boost in the French Derby. The Dante was always the wrong race for him but I guess it’s worked as a good prep this season.
How many times is Ryan Moore on the wrong horse in a classic? It never happed much with Vincent and Piggot.
I fancied Wings Of Eagles strongly the year he won. Aidan ran a bunch of horses in it that year and in his pre race interview he mentioned them all bar the eventual winner. Beggy on board was enough to tell how highly Aidan rated him.
Lambourn caught the eye in the Ballysax last year and was impressive again at Chester. I know Delacroix is the classier horse but Dubawi doesn’t throw Derby material.
