    Meydan City – how good is he going to have to be to justify that price??

    About 1lb superior to The Green Monkey.

    The new racecourse has a canal planned
    so arriving by boat will be possible..
    This also implies leaving by boat
    and one can only hope that Arabs
    can navigate the waterway
    after a bad world cup.

    As an aside the eye congratulates
    Mrs Pitman on her Ascot attire
    placed as she was
    in that dazzlingly beautiful midnight blue creation.
    and striking pearl choker..

    Second highest price for a yearling and they have had £770 of it back. :shock:

    I doubt they’d be concerned.

    Well theres another 9,714 quid back. Didnt see the race, did it look like he could get back more in future? 7-1 wasnt a bad price really.

    Could win more races but doesn’t look a star.

    Drifted like the Marie Celeste in the betting and did not look at all impressive going down.

    Still not 100% sure about him, although I did back him today, as I’m not too sure what he actually beat in this race.

    Frankie didn’t have to do alot and I thought the horse won quiet comfortably and came on alot for its last run. What did he beat? well I might be the only one who thinks this but the field did have some expensive purchases and I doubt any trainer wouldn’t of thought he had a chance as they all had promising starts to 2008. The ground played alot in the race but I do think Meydan City will have a good future in the sport but wether thats at Group level im not sure.

    They should have him amongst their nomination at least for the Melbourne Cup. If not this year then certainly next.

    Makes perfect sense to me. Absolutely clear as day.
