    In tears watching Wise Eagle on the news tonight. I’m going to be a complete wreck by tomorrow.Even if I won the lottery I’ve realised I would never be able to own a racehorse.

    At the prices subjectivist is the play , yard in form and there,s no question mark about him staying , he,s to big in my eyes compared to some of them who won’t get home

    Agree with a lot of the comments here. Coltrane and Subjectivist are the proven stayers but Eldar Eldarov is the horse with potential at the distance.

    I am probably mad but I have backed all three. I suppose there is an “if” about Subjectivist but he cannot be ignored at the price.

    Couldnt even guess who will win this, have tried to go through them and pick one but i cant be remotely confident on any of them, a very strange race, a very poor one at that

    I cannot recall Yabir pulling and failing to settle recently , more the opposite sitting out the back and finding the line too late . He hits the line hard enough in his races when on song , brother won 3 mile hurdle at Clonmel in heavy so family stays . Seems like perfect horse to at least give himself a chance to run home hard in last furlong .

    “I am probably mad but I have backed all three.”

    Same backer’s book as me, CAS – good luck.

    I’d agree horses stepping up well later in life from 1m4f to 2m don’t always stay the Gold Cup trip.
    However, Broome and Yibir are two with a run style that gives them a chance. Both with a bit of laziness and can look asleep in their races.

    Breeders Cup Turf one two in the Ascot Gold Cup.
    Who’d of thought.

    Frankie tried his hardest to find trouble but I think he could be a very good horse

    Fancied Subjectivist strongly and its amazing he’s finished 3rd after tanking like that.

    The winner looks a very good stayer for the next few seasons and Frankel is on his way to surpassing his dad. The greatest racehorse and now the best sire on the planet.

    Frankel’s had a pretty good week too – Queen Anne 1st and 2nd, POW 1st and 3rd and now the Gold Cup.

    Gosden confirmed he was sold by Oppenheimer to finance the upkeep of his breeding business – wonder how much he got for him?
