Who knows what ability remains, and she was too keen last time as she sometimes is but

Nashwa 40s ew

Calandagan’s trainer saying hopefully he will be nearer the pace.

Nashwa may well be looking more towards the breeders cup – may still not be fit. Goes extremely well on firm ground. That said, is getting close to a backable price today.

I’m really looking forward to this and I don’t even like the Flat. Economics is gorgeous.

[Refuse To Bend]

What a rough old race that was.

The more I know the less I understand.

[Wilts]

That’ll do me, with the 3rd, at 50s

[Refuse To Bend]

Well done Wilts thought he had it at one point.

The more I know the less I understand.

[Wilts]

Cheers RTB yeah, so did I.

WD Wilts.

Anmaat very professional.

Calandagan did well considering very slowly away, had to wait and then rushed up too quickly. Anmaat had to wait a bit but Crowley did the right thing in not rushing – or not being able to rush.
Iresine may have beaten Anmaat too had she been able to weave through / better ride.

Disgusted with the ride from Calandagans jockey.

I thought the horse was a bit special and he proved it today.
After a dreadful break, he then proceeded to light the horse up.

If he’d have accepted the poor break like he should have and saved everything for the finish, he’d have won easy.

[Mike007]

Economics found to have flood in the nose.

[Wilts]

I must say, that with the ground as it is, i was expecting more shocks today than there has been.

[Mike007]

“If he’d have accepted the poor break like he should have and saved everything for the finish, he’d have won easy.”

Been difficult to win from the back today though. The slow start had him on the back foot and made it tough.

[Gingertipster]

At his past best Timeform rated Anmaat just 4 lbs below Calandagan’s best. But had a long time off after winning the 2023 D’Ispahan.

First run coming at Haydock won on reappearance in Group 3 company despite his far superior form – unfit in August? Then only 5th when a short priced favourite in a Group 2 on Arc weekend (this month!) on his only start since. So possibly this was the only race day he’s been fit for over a year.

“Iresine may have beaten Anmaat too had she been able to weave through / better ride.”

Nah. Having watched the replay a few times, would only have been third with a clear run.
