I missed the live running because the insufferable commercials on ATR made me switch the channels and I forgot to switch back for the race
He didn’t have a great deal to beat but he beat them as well as he was entitled to and will be a very interesting prospect when he grows up a bit.
Don’t think he beat anything of note today, but he’s definitely a serious prospect. Like many, never really liked 2 year olds who make their debut as early as March, but definitely can’t ignore this one. Hope they keep him with Bolger though.
Wondering why Ladbrokes are offering the standout 8/1 as this horse looks the standout 2yo – do they know he is leaving Bolger? Ashdan plenty of potential the other day and certainly looks a better prospect than Dundonnell who looked anything but straightforward in the Champagne.
yes dawn approach is a tough horse indeed, just like his sire. his weakness however maybe that he doesn’t travel that well through his races, that he doesn’t have push-button accelaration.
as for the horses that won at the doncaster festival, by far the most promising for me is certify. I don’t rate ashdan’s form much, the time was pretty slow, and ditto the champagne stakes yesterday (although if there is one to come out of that it’s surely the 2nd, who would hardly have been suited by the very slow gallop)
I like Dawn Approach very much, looked a little green, wandered slightly which is always a worry as it can be an indication of a physical issue, but it was only slight and he can certainly motor.
Looks tailor-made for the Guineas and 8/1 would be extremely attractive… IF you knew he wasn’t going to be messed about with in the meantime. And by that I mean switching yards/countries/climates.
Looks like a horse who has to have a blistering fast pace , he will get that in 2000G , for sure , but he might be vulnerable in a tactical crawl
If he goes to Dubai , he will go back 10 lbs , thats the problem , if he stays with Jim Bolger , I would be having my first anti post bet for 30 years

Looks a top drawer 2yo in the right yard.
Is he going for the Dewhurst or the RP? The one to beat in either.
As for the inevitable Godolphin switch – more chance to end in disaster than if kept with the Bolgers, thats for sure.
I think they are favouring a tilt at the Dewhurst PC. A ‘happy hunting ground’ says Jim Bolger
<b>Sheikh Mohamed</b> said <b>Dawn Approach</b> is staying with Jim Bolger Next Year? What Good News that is <!– s:D –>
<!– s:D –>Yes seemed a bit unsure at first and I wonder whether it was not decided until that point, but good news
That’s the first time I’ve ever seen the Sheikh a bit stuck for an answer! Good news for Jim Bolger though. I read an article this morning that said Jim still owns 49% of Dawn Approach.

Dunno, if you ask him when he’s going to offer basic human rights and long-promised union recognition to the tens of thousands of slave – sorry, ‘guest’ – workers in his gold-plated fiefdom he stutters a bit.

Crack in the cement.Maybe the wife is speaking up following her success with New Approach.Human rights could follow.Same applies to Qatar.
Jim very strict catholic.No drinking no cussing no philandering.Sheik learn from Jim.Stay at Jim’s place,become nice guy.Two peas in one pod.Good for Sheik. Very good for Jim.

He did seem puzzled for a couple of seconds. I wondered if he didn’t quite understand and an off-camera lackey quickly translated. Great news though, I thought when the horse appeared in blue colours that was indicating he would be moving at the end of the season.
