RIP VAN WINKLE
DELEGATOR
MASTERCRAFTSMAN
EVASIVE
ARAZAN
SHAWEEL
INTENSE FOCUS
FINJAAN
WESTPHALIA ???
CITYSCAPE ???
LORD SHANAKILL ???Could be a very small 2000 Guineas field as I just cannot see any other runners?
Unless something has happened to Ashram? Have always thought Soul City may be one for it aswell, as may City Style, the Godolphin horse who was pulled out of the craven yesterday.
A small field doesn’t necessarily mean a poor race. Going back many years I remember Brigadier Gerard, Mill Reef and My Swallow, each a potential winner in any other year, being part of a field of only 6. That was as good a renewal as many.

Hi robnorth,
didn’t say anything about it being a poor race? just a smallish field.

Thought Godolphin stated Shaweel their Guineas horse?

City Style is a gelding and not eligible. Shaweel is definitely the number one from the stable.
The 2,000 Guineas looks a very open race, indicative perhaps that the classic generation hasn’t produced anything out of the ordinary…at least not from the Colts…
I think the 2000 gns 09 always had that look to it though since seeing the 2yos last year. However the derby looks ultra competetive. Personally I generally prefer an open season, as much as I like watching class horses like Ravens Pass and Henry dominate their division, I hate odds on shots winning anything. Think after henry and ravens last year though, this years milers looked sure to be a disappointment.
Don’t believe it one iota. Expect the usual quota of runners to compete.
Where are all these other runners going to come from though?
Maybe VOCALISED after a decent run today?
Can you name any more?
With still over 80 entries why do you think there will be a small field? There’s always a few no hopers run to make up the numbers.
I much prefer quality of over quantity anyway.

Didn’t realise Fergus Wilson had any entries.
Isn’t that thing of Hannon’s that won at Kempton the other week running? The name escapes me…
Well why dodnt run the meeting at York this year, given that HQ had our best races last year…
This years race looks crap is probably one of the worst guineas fields in history.
This years Kentucky derby looks a better race..

Pure Poetry.
Those AW Kempton "classic trial" races are an irrelevance when it comes to the classics.
It since ran third in the Craven.
Not sure whether it runs or not but a rank outsider if it doesDoes Dettori like Shaweel so much that he stays to ride him rather that going to ride Desert Party or Regal Ransom in the Kentucky Derby ? Or was he not given the choice ?
He will be at HQ, Godolphim have hired US riders for the job, given Godolphins horses lousy form good luck too them…
Given the crap ride Dunkirk, plus the horses blatant lack of courage I would send Murtagh over too ride him, i am not confident of Coolmores horses at HQ, like Godolphin they are not starting in sparkling form.
