I wonder if changing the trip to ten and a half or eleven furlongs might do the trick. There aren’t many, if any stallions at all producing winners over the Derby trip. What drives me crazy are the astronomical sums spent at auctions for horses that even fail to win a race, let alone Group 1s.
I don’t think we are blaming Coolmore for being shrewd and successful, but the game has become boring.
Just look at today’s cards. For a Saturday there was no other standout meeting and there were no Group races at the remaining tracks. I know we are in the pre-Royal Ascot phase, but it’s f*****g June, we should have competitive racing on a Saturday at more than just one track.
