2000 Guineas 2019

“Good thing” means different things to different people, Potato. What’s yours?
TDH was never odds-on and the price took in to account being a 3 year old.

TDH only needed to train on to win an average 2000 Guineas. Yes, there was a chance he wouldn’t train on, but (looking at the way the family usually develop and progression TDH showed at two) a far bigger chance of improving on his two year old form. Unfortunately, the family are also a little fragile and currently out to over 4/1 on betfair…

Chances of winning or even running now don’t look good.

I hope Too Darn Hot makes it
even his two year old form would beat anything that has come out of these trials
he’d have to regress to birth to lose to anything we have seen so far
His pedigree would suggest that won’t happen

Watan is a beautiful looking horse btw
like his dad..

I did what I did yesterday. Qabala was backed on the day in the Nell Gwynn so went in at 40s for the 1000 guineas. Today Skardu was backed for Craven so I went in at 25s for the 2000.

If (more like when) TDH is scratched from this it is looking wide open. Skardu is now 6s in places. Very good run there, but 6s is 6s and that’s mental. Clearly the bookies can’t work the race out either.

Zakouski was poor. Looks a bit mental.

Persian King, surely they go now?

Watched the lagaedere and royal marines run when beating turgenev again and he front ran or was right up with the pace

Yet soumillon decided to hold him up midfield which the horse clearly didn’t enjoy

Not a horse to give up on and with more positive tactics think hed be a far better horse

Ginger, I’ve already extensively explained what I meant with hype, but you try to ignore this and wipe it away,
so from me: ‘Nuff said

Jack, with “fair to Calyx” I mean that Gosden should really examine if Calyx is or can become a miler,
instead of pushing him away into the sprint department.

Nathan, I know as I’ve also read this, and of course I must be prepared that Calyx will be withdrawn from here.
Then your early plan to play him in the Commonwealth would create a good chance for you, but at least JG also talked about routing him to the St James Stakes. He intends to discuss this with good old Abdullah, so there is still the chance to see him over 8f.

He beat broome who bolted up in the ballysax so hard to knock the form

Fabre & Godolphin have to let Persian King go here now. Best chance of 1000G success for them in some time.

The one for me that is overpriced is Madhmoon at 20s.

Only just beaten staying on well on soft ground over 7F by a fit horse, the overreaction to this beast is high.
He beat Broome last season basically on the bridle over the Guineas trip and looked the next big thing, a prep is a prep i’m sure Prendergast would’ve left a bit to work on with him and quick ground will suit better aswell.
