    Have to say I enjoy this meeting as much as any. The coverage is just some of the best of any sportscaster and I so wish we could learn from them. Great to see baffert struggle. Ryan shows he is one of the best of all time. Every ride got the best possible chance and he had 2 wins,a second third and a fourth and £3.4m in prizemoney. He’s also getting so much more charming in his interviews and seems to love his job. So glad to see him enjoying himself. Easier when you have some fabby horses to ride.
    Huge thanks for running it guys. 👏👏👏

    Well done Triptych, you trounced the field! Some brilliant scores from many others too (obvs not me :wacko: ). Heartily agree with mickeyjp’s comments re Baffert and Ryan Moore too.
    Huge thanks to BigG for running the competition, the Superbowl of Scoring!

    Thank you so much.
    I really did get lucky on Day two with my favourite filly Inspiral coming from behind to win and then Master Of The Seas and Mawj bringing the forecast home. :yahoo:
    Really commisserate with you Neil I honestly thought you had it on Day 1 with that score and Steve congrats for coming 2nd. :good: I guess I’ve done what we could now call a ‘Raymo’.😃🤣🎂🍪🍨 but it really was the pressure of having to get those choices on early that made me concentrate more on the form..I got lucky. :yes: but I couldn’t be more happy.

    Many thanks to Graham for running this so brilliantly despite ruining his dinner Saturday night hope you enjoyed your late night takeaway and to Cormack for putting up a superb prize…It has to be INSPIRAL please after her heart stopping win last night. Just love her.❤️
    Not the most photogenic but she has certainly inherited Frankel’s talent and I kept thinking of how much Henry Cecil would have enjoyed seeing that performance last night. :heart:

    Many thanks for a great competition Graham and to all the players .. it was tough out there..well done. :rose: Jac

    Inspiral it is Jac – I’ll get right onto it – she’s not the easiest as JHMG usually has her in the parade ring last second but I am sure I have a few of her, hopefully something you like. I’ll post them on here for you to take a look and pick one.

    Thanks David..
    I know she’s not the easiest to get a photo of and often wears the red hood now…It was between herself and Auguste Rodin so if he is easier for you then I would be more than happy.

    Looking forward to seeing your photos and thanks again. :good: Jac

    She is tricky, as you point out she wears the hood, she is invariably late not per-parade/parade and I seemed to catch her getting beat often somehow!

    Here’s four from a sunny day in 2022 when she won the Coronation Stakes. If you don’t like these I have plenty of Auguste Rodin.
