Blackbeard runs in the Darly Prix Robert Papin over at Chantilly in a couple of hours.
I hope Ioritz Mendizabal insurance is up to date..

July 17, 2022 at 12:08 #1607370Blackbeard-schmackbeard – the entire 2yo scene is all about the 2023 2,000 Guineas winner Little Big Bear for me.
Yes, I’ve taken 14/1 about a pumped-up son of No Nay Never who is probably at his career peak now and won’t stay a mile in a horsebox.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"July 17, 2022 at 14:33 #1607389Did anyone see if he got up to his pre-race pawing antics again?
July 17, 2022 at 15:38 #1607397Apparently he did. Racing Post reports “Blackbeard showed his usual theatrics ahead of the six-furlong contest and was the final runner coaxed into the stalls”.
July 17, 2022 at 15:46 #1607401I love this colt already – you gotta adore a talented basket case.

Love him, looking forward to his next performance!
July 18, 2022 at 20:11 #1607625Touch of the George Washington’s about him perhaps.

How good is Shartash?
One to follow surely
July 19, 2022 at 00:15 #1607662The jockey was full of praise
Think it’s his way of telling Aidan to go for the Prix Morny.Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026

Don’t know why – maybe the complete nutter was digging for gold/oil/whatever last night and ended up mining a tunnel out of his box and escaped.
Last seen riding a purloined motorbike like Steve McQueen towards the border.

Was probably cover incase LBB stepped on a stone or such like
He told captain Aidan he likes to set sail aboard the good ship coolmore to foreign destinations such as France where the soil is always that much heavier and easily to dig.Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
