    Such a shame as potentially a big player had conditions suited – great that it is not life threatening and look forward to her offspring gracing the track in due course.

    Tarnawa has run a cracking Arc trial in an unsuitably-tactical 1m2f contest IMO.

    Agreed Ian

    On her for this and the breeders cup

    Was very happy with that effort

    Best race of the day, slowest time of the day.

    She’s basically given the best 3yo in training and the 2,000 Guineas winner a headstart in a sprint finish and gone down by less than a length.

    She’s run a blinder.

    Would argue that SMB isn’t the best 3yr old in training but agreed that it was a great run from her especially considering she was give a very sympathetic future targets in mind ride, she was only given a couple of smacks and then hands and heels…….just what she needed to put her right for Paris.

    You could easily argue that was the best run of her life

    Comfortably her best over 10f

    If she has improved again over the winter she will take some beating at longchamp and del mar

    I wouldnt want a bog at longchamp because that will slightly blunt her speed but anything soft or better I’m hopeful of a huge run

    Would you say 5/1 is a very good price for her to win at del mar FF?

    Adayar form looks even better after the Leger

    Will be a weaker race at del mar

    Appleby said on SSR that Hurricane Lane may run in the Arc.

    I suspect smb wasn’t fully up to speed today but take nothing away from the second and third. Would have been fascinating to have seen snowfall in the race as I reckon on soft ground she would out speed them. We will see on arc day and its shaping up to be the best for a long time.

    Btw I wonder if the lads wont run smb in the breeders cup turf if the going is on easy side. I’d imagine if it’s a bog on champions day they will give it a miss.

    Id be very surprised if snowfall could outspeed st marks basilica personally

    Jury is still out on her as she’s beaten nothing

    Her form isn’t remotely close to being as strong as adayar, st marks, tarnawa etc

    She could easily be like love who battered a bunch of listed/group 3 horses but has since fallen short in open company

    FF91 you questioned SMB’s form not being up to much before today’s race. So liking the Snowfall poor form line quotes. It could be a good omen ;-) lol

    I said he needed to prove it and he did mike

    Snowfall is priced up like she’s proven it by beating top horses and she hasn’t :good:

    Rumours coming out of Newmarket that the vets have been called out to the Gosden yard over concerns about about a certain stable inmate who has been in fit’s of laughter since 2.50 pm this afternoon.
