    Masekela for me

    Was watching a YouTube video the other day and Oisin nominated this as his best chance of the week

    And given balding won the coventry and Albany he looks set to run well

    Can’t see how Great Max qualifies for this. Isn’t the Chesham restricted to 2yos whose sire or dam won over 9.5 furlongs or more? By Wootton Bassett (never won over more than 7f) out of a mare who never won.

    Only one winner here and that’s POINT (and shoot) LONSDALE.

    Stone cold certainty. Backed at 6/4 should be 1/4.

    Aiden O Brien as good as owns this race and has won 3 of the last 5 runnings and 4 of the last 10. Whatever he sends here is a machine.

    When Aiden sends a 2yo to run in England then he means business specifically in a certain type of race- A 2yo listed race(last 5 years).

    15% strike rate in 2yo U.K. group races
    15% strike rate in 2yo U.K. maidens
    0% strike rate in 2yo novice
    27% strike rate in 2yo listed races

    When you concentrate on his record in the Chesham the 27% rises.

    Aiden O Brien always leaves a huge amount to work on with his 2yos first time out yet they are always short in betting and horrifically underpriced and almost never any value.
    This one absolutely scooted up in a Curragh maiden by 5 1/2 lengths going away. That race was nothing special but the manner in which he won it was sensational. Devastating turn of foot from the front. With the ground testing and drawn in the right place he will fly out and when Moore asks him to quicken the reaction will surely be mind blowing.
    Recorded an RPR of 95 on debut and is going to improve immensely on his 2nd run. Aidens last 3 winners of this were Churchill, Battleground and September.
    None of them can possibly get to him today.
    Ascot banker of the week and really should be odds on.
    Was entered in The Railway stakes at the Curragh as well but they come here with him to land another Chesham instead for the team.

    The rest are merely playing for 2nd place.

    Looks on the face of it for today the best of these. Port Lonsdale was visually impressive but I have doubts in the ground.
    Masekela

    Has no questions to answer over the ground.
    He should at least place. Physically looked very well forward last time out.

    This is the 2yo that folk will have a painting of on their wall in years to come.

    No horse can live with this one. Rocket.

    Took some time to get going and ground it out

    I like the way Point Lonsdale veered sharply across the track and still won while Dettori’s horse stayed to a straighter line and lost :whistle:

    They may as well just hand this horse all of the 3yo classics right now.

    Potentially better than Frankel and no horse will ever beat him.

    Big opinions for big horses. Phenomenal amount of improvement to come with Point.

    Greatest Of All Time? Maybe.

    POINT (and shoot) LONSDALE installed as the 2022 1000 Guineas Favourite and The Derby Favourite.

    The first genuine contender to Frankels crown as greatest of all time to come along.
    The first time I have ever seen a horse who will win The triple Crown.
    Guineas-Derby-Leger winner 2022

    Move over Frankel.

    The 2nd is an exceptional horse they pulled clear of the rest. No problem for the goat however.
