Any views on HIGHEST GROUND 50/1 Derby he is took that with power i know you like your Frankel colts trip to
CRYSTAL PEGASUS was 2nd last night behind a Gosden filly who still in fillies mile doubt run there though any views on race guys and Frankel colt to in previous posts
Good luck with your 50/1 Highest Ground Darren for the Derby next year.
He certainly won a classy maiden in style blowing away the Godolphin horse Law Of Peace already on his 3rd outing.
Unlike Queen Daenerys I havent seen this horse in the flesh yet and he has done all that has been asked. Would like for him to have one more run this year to assess him better, if he comes out of stalls better next time he could win by even further…best of luck..Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Trip what you think of the 2nd and 3rd in maiden of Queen Daenerys think they progress next year
What a race that was Darren, best fillies 2yo race of the season.
Frankel,Kingman and Golden Horn all represented here.Queen Daenerys was always the standout filly in this race from paddock to post.
and although Wasaayef looked as though she was coming back at her at the finish Queen Daenerys was always superior at the finish.
Looking at both horses action again Queen Daenerys comes out on top for me very reminiscent of Frankel flying over the turf with every hoofbeat. Wasaayef had a flatter action so will prefer ground Good/Firm.
Wasaayef was stepping up to the mile which she did get but it was a stiff mile with the uphill finish on the Rowley Mile so definitely one who is going to progress well after this, plus she shouldered a 6lb penalty for her last win.Golden Pass didn’t get the best of starts and ran very green in the race, she will learn from this and gave a very good account of herself and will progress but at a lower level but can’t see her beating either of the two who finished in front of her last week.

Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...In The Middle Park, at 16’s, I have to be with Lope Y Fernandez. Has to step up again from his G3 the last time,but I think he can, and it looks a fair EW Price.
There were more questions than answers from The Middle Park, and although the Racing Post had it as the best renewal in a generation, I wouldn’t read too much into their view.
I’ll be more than happy to be proved wrong, I’m certainly no expert, but it didn’t look like a race to get too excited about.
Having said that, and contradictorily, I still think that we have an above average crop this year, and the reappearance Of Pinatubo cannot come quick enough. He is by some stretch the most important 2yo I’ve ever seen.
I should also give a mention to Glasvegas again.
For all that it probably wasn’t the type of race that this thread is about, it was nice to see him get his head in front at Hamilton. I hope he continues to improve.
Any views from 2yo races in France while some good races at Newmarket like fillies mile oh sharp stakes with Zetland and Autunm stakes to
See Convict got his nose in front third time around (saddle slipped 2nd time up), think Haggas might do well by this one next season.
Hi Darren
In answer to your question on Joni’s Thread…I think Kinross is a horse who is going to improve in leaps and bounds over the winter.
He wasn’t outstanding in the pre parade apart from being very green and neighing all the time ..this was obviously not a negative for him but it put me off backing him
One to take out of that race is Aiden O’Briens Vatican City who didnt get the best of runs and has entries in the 2000 Guineas and Derby..
Sorry I don’t really know much more about plans for Kinross next year Darren and hope that helps..Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Kinross debut speed figure of 62 was very impressive.
There is one 2yo that I am waiting to see run again and that is Roger Varian’s Pierre Lapin, so good do I think that this horse will be in time I will put him up as a group 1 prospect.
Roger Varian didn’t really want to run him at Newbury because he is still on the weak side, his speed figure of 70 certainly made me sit up and take notice.

Mike.
Mike, Any figure for Kinross that bolted up at Newmarket on Saturday? He looks a proper tool to my eye.
EDIT – Just seen you posted about him above haha
Tbracing mentioned CONVICT who ran second at York at the weekend. Looks to have some growing to do and should be all the better for another winter behind him. Half-brother to Hamish who has turned into a Pattern class 3yo this term.
ART POWER floated over the soft ground to win at York on Friday. A neat sort who will bulk out a bit for next year and won with any amount in hand.
