    You have to think how good Ravens Pass is now that he has beaten the best in the world US horses.

    :wink: :wink: :wink:

    Typical – Yanks go to Curlin first instead of the winner.

    Hope you all got on there at the US odds! :D

    Great run by my boy Henry there. Really thought he was coming from a winning run and only slightly had a gap closed on him coming off the turn.

    Brilliant race – that New Approach/Henry/Ravens form that has been prominent throughout the season has now been franked as some of the best in the world now surely?

    The big burning question though – would New Approach have won that? I have a feeling he may have just nicked it…

    Big sad that Jimmy Fortune had to watch that from over here. He deserved the chance

    I told you it would be a great day for Frankie!! :lol:

    He rode a great race, didn’t he? Stalked Curlin and Raven had far too much power for Henry in the straight, who also ran a great race.

    What a performance. He thoroughly deserves it after his efforts in the top races over here this summer, super horse.

    I shook you out of that ‘tempting fate’ thing you know :wink:

    I tempted fate myself! Being beaten by Ravens Pass once again :cry:

    Did Johnny Murtagh leave his brain at Dublin airport? Anyone watching this meeting could see that you need to be the last to challenge, preferably on the outside, yet he rides the Turf and the Classic aggressively hitting the front far too soon. Not really pocket talk as the Classic was a good result, but brain dead riding.

    Great ride, stalked Curlin and came down the middle like all the winners tonight (rather than chase the pace like the Coolmore horses).

    Still I’m sure it was the surface that beat Curlin rather than the lack of steroids :roll:

    A fantastic performance by Raven’s Pass, and full marks to Gosden for having faith in the horse’s stamina (which I didn’t).

    Is he going to stay in training next year, does anybody know?

    Also glad to see Tiago sneak third!

    Thanks, HTH!! :lol:

    The problem is I backed Sixties Icon and Red Rocks!!

    I called Raven’s win to near perfection on page 3 (sorry to blow my own trumpet), but sided with Curlin on the day.

    Another, D’OH!!

    Congrats to all who supported Raven!!
