2000 Guineas 2019

TDH has come back in a bit on the exchange
don’t think a lot was traded at the bigger prices,
thought the Gosden update was quite promising myself
from what I read about the setback you can still do quite a bit of swimming to keep a horse ticking over

Jack, Madhmoons trainer said last week

“He’s come out of the race well and he’ll go wherever the ground is more suitable, which will probably be Newmarket. “The ground was very soft the other day, and he was beaten by a race-fit horse. “Our horse will come on for the run, and his two runs last year were on fast ground – which suits him much better. “He’s a possible for Newmarket.

If the ground isn’t right, or we feel he wants more time, we could wait for the Irish Guineas – that’s the story.”

Too Darn Hot weak on the machine, but so is Magna Grecia – out to 14/1.

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.

Ok- so by doing what? firing him straight into a Guineas after being out since last June?

He might well end up in the SJP at Royal Ascot yet.

Why would you back a horse that’s only run over 6f for a 2000G off near a year off but not back him for a sprint race? Personally backing him first time up isn’t something i’d fancy doing anyway.

I just don’t understand the anger in here at all!

Hey All! I’ve been reading this forum for over a year now and after quite a few problems getting a username sorted I’ve finally set up. Love reading everyone’s comments and opinions, there are many strong ones and the passion is awesome! GT your fine detailed views are not everyone’s cup of tea but I thoroughly enjoy reading your posts, find them very informative and the way you challenge everything is a great way for me to look again and again at my own opinion and decison, keep up the good work! Anyway, onto the Guineas, for me Calyx has surely a big question mark over him that needs answering after such a long time out and only 2 runs. He might not ever be the horse we saw at Ascot again. Definitely will get targeted at the SJP in my view and it could add extra spice to that, but he’s surely unbackable at the moment. He was never going to the Guineas as soon as JG opened his mouth and hinted that earlier this year, but I’d go nowhere near him after such a long layoff even if he did. My antipost is Madhmooon, who is definitely over priced at 20s and all that is about to go now, mostly 16s and 14s, just hope they do go there with him. The biggest thing I want to say though is what a massive shame this Guineas is. Was supposed to be Too Darn Hot v Quorto and now neither of them and throw in calyx getting injured and man we’ve been robbed of an all time classic Guineas!

Madhmoon 20/1

I was just thinking today thank goodness John Gosden didn’t train Frankel he’d have had him shipped away to stud before he’d past ‘The Bushes’ on his way to winning the 2000 Guineas.

In my sole annual contribution to the Flat, TDH is out!

What do you even mean Hein lol
