Coolmore have so much firepower at their disposal that even a 4th or 5th string horse would be most other stables marque horse, heck even the ones Aidan balloted out of the race (that have been pacemaking in the trials) most stables would give their right arm to have in their yard.

Seperately, I hope to god that they never drop the race down to 10F – I know most would say that the French Derby has been all the better for it but a Derby should always be run over 12F as it is the classic distance especially at Epsom because it test a racehorse for speed, balance, agility and stamina.
