    Well done those who kept the faith what on earth happened at the Guineas?
    He was amazing.. :good:
    Such a shame about Voyage unseating. :unsure:

    Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...

    I’ve got the winner but there ain’t a jockey on it!

    Class is permanent…

    This guy is a machine. All he does is work out and pick winners. Talk about fit. You should see him without his shirt off, serious side of beef.

    He won , but as rtb says not a brilliant renewal , hope the front 2 to again as the second travelled beautifully

    Seems they did things wrong at Newmarket not that they said at the time.

    The more I know the less I understand.

    I was right about Voyage getting the lead but unfortunately Dobbs wasn’t in on the plan! 👀

    Now I really want to see COT against Voyage (with a jockey) – connections must be pig sick considering how he went, looked like he had a lovely time out there at the front. He also helped COT by giving him something to chase in that last furlong.

    Good performance under a cool Ryan Moore ride. :yahoo:

    Unfortunate for Ambiente Friendly. In a normal year he would probably have been a good Derby winner. I wonder if it will be the Eclipse next for him?

    CAS – Eclipse is a good shout as a stiff 10F might suit him better as he looked like he was going to hose up 2F.

    Wow, when you ask for a masterclass ride by Ryan Moore there it was, and how humble Aiden O’Brien is taking the wrap for putting him in the Guineas unprepared and for him to say its the best Derby horse his trained well there is no more to be said

    LD, it was a long time ago but connections went down the same route with Environment Friend and he won.

    I doubt they will want to take on City Of Troy again and I expect his connections will want to support the Irish Derby.
