    Dazza, i didn’t have a huge view on any of the 2yo races from Newmarket.

    Iberia this weekend was quite disappointing, i have to admit i was surprised to see him take his chance back over 7f as i thought he was in need of further already. Still a poor race he should’ve been good enough to win IMO.

    Some nice races at Newmarket Trip pointed out on Joni’s thread.

    Interesting to see Mulryan better known for City Island to have one entered. Also Almighwar is superbly bred!!

    Hi Darren
    Just looking back at the Horris Hill run at Newmarket this year on Saturday 2nd November and have to give a big thumbs up to the winner….
    KENZAI WARRIOR
    who looked amazing in the paddock, you could see your face in his coat a really handsome colt :heart: and going to post he also took the eye.

    He won the race in great style in atrocious conditions and is a definite 2000 Guineas contender for Roger Teal.
    Unbeaten this season in two runs Kenzai Warrior had previously beaten another 2yo that must be followed in 2020…
    MAX VEGA easy winner of the Zetland Stakes at Newmarket on 12th October.

    Would be interested in TBB’s views on Kenzai Warrior and Max Vega both look to have a great 2020 season ahead of them.

    Hi Nathan
    I did see Born With Pride but didn’t take as long a look at her as I wish I had, she certainly went under the radar on Saturday and surprised everyone.

    I do remember she went to post very well with high knee action and in her race she looked in control throughout and didnt look as though Tom Marquand gave her a hard race.
    Beating the very useful Peaceful was an impressive debut for this well bred filly and she’s definitely one to follow and made a tough race look easy. :good: Jac

    Disappointment of the race was Alpen Rose who lost interest quickly.

    Tbracing and Rob North mentioned him earlier and have to also give a big shout out to another William Haggas 2yo horse to follow…
    CONVICT
    who won the Matchbox Future Stayers Nursery H’cap on 2yo Day at Newmarket, Wednesday 23rd October by 4 lengths.

    I went to the pre parade ring before the race and just stood looking at him bring prepared for the race..you would have thought he was getting ready to run in the Guineas the care that was being taken with him by William Haggas, even a few squirts of water in his mouth begore going to face his public (like a prizefighter)..all worth it. :good:

    Once in the parade ring amongst the other runners Convict appeared small alongside them and some of my racing friends were put off backing him..silly them :whistle: he romped home a little powerhouse who has progressed from 7 furlongs to 10 and will figure in some of the top races next season, he may even grow a little more. ;-) Jac

    It’s not a very original call, but here’s to a great season from Pinatubo, the most exciting 2 year old I’ve seen.

    I’d also like to give a word to Love, who I think could be an interesting horse for the Guineas/Oaks

    I’m also an early days fan of Pinatubo as everybody knows, but making him fav for the Derby is quite mad imo :wacko: Haven’t heard of a Shamardal lasting 12f so far..
