    Big Evs is probably better than winning distances suggest.
    Went too quick too soon and second and third came from a long way back.

    Didn’t need the patriotic pound what a performance and crimson advocate if settled better might have got second but getting to the front against this horse turned out to be suicidal. Great performance.
    Tom Marquand “ ridiculously easy” quote.

    That was blistering!!

    I thought Big Evs had lost it as drifted wide of the bend but he went again.

    Superb :good:

    I backed Starlust but I was screaming Big Evs home. What a tear jerker. I first watched the Breeders Cup decades ago when I was in Brum with my cousin. She was going out with a guy and they were watching it on the tv ( it used to be on terrestrial tv back then: good on ITV for bringing it back). Both of them long since gone so I always get a bit emotional about these two days. Pleased for Tom Marquand, too. And wasn’t Valiant Force flying at the end!

    Tamara the talk of the town for the 940. Reminds me a bit of Songbird from 2015 coming into this. If she’s half the horse that one was then she’ll be a top dog. Took 5/4 last week, hasn’t moved much in price.

    Can’t see the interviews as just watching on my phone but glad her fella got the win. Such a nice pair (although who knows, maybe they’re like Father Ted’s John and Mary behind closed doors??)

    Tamara

    win

    won over shorter twice and latest a grade 1 by over seven lengths over seven furlongs so steps up again and at this level looks very progressive clear favourite. The draw is vital however and will have to overcome significant hurdles to get a good position here from the middle of the park. But looks good enough if they go too quickly but stepping up in class

    each way

    the AMO runner here and groups runners have been catapulted onto the scene no suprise to see further remarkable improvement here on a big stage, but on all known form out of his depth here. Got the distance however but would need a career best to figure here, but not of the question.

    lured in by the chatter, Just F Y I grade 1 winner last time, no reason to think she wasn’t a value bet. Gone for BUCHU in the 1020 at 10/1. Looked value to me, got luckier with the draw here, hopefully runs a big race.

    I’ve backed Content. All backed Life’s an Audible because I was only thinking today that I needed to subscribe to Audible.

    Content was flying at the end. Never been a fan of US racing and watching tonight reminds me of why. This isn’t my pocket talking as no bets in play, it is just repetitive and quite frankly boring. Like dog racing with bigger competitors.

    The more I know the less I understand.
