    Italy 20-1.

    Was very taken by his debut, and he’s a Fine-looking colt who looks sure to progress. His dam has produced two mile and a half winners (both by Dubawi) and is by Galileo out of an Oaks runner-up, so his pedigree gives some optimism that he will stay.

    Italy 14-1. Superlative Derby double. For a bit of interest.

    Oh dear Mike. Always the danger of a “double”, when the odds-on first part of the bet loses.
    Italy shouldn’t be written off for a Derby, as has bags of physical scope. That said, although the dam is a sister to Derby “winner” Serpentine… Italy is by Wootten Bassett, so isn’t sure to stay and didn’t exactly look a 12f horse there.

    Thrown a dart at Montreal 20-1 ew

    Was Soumillon’s ride against Benvenuto Cellini in the Champions Juvenile Stakes race that Benvenuto Cellini won, (and who ended up being Derby fav as a result), before he was declared a NR.

    I’d just take a decent price on ballydoyle winning it. So many similar types who knows who will eventually make the line up. Action look a decent punt just now. Looks an ideal Derby contender.

    Everything was nil at the start of time
    besides he’ll be running and winning in races before the Derby that won’t be nil

    No horse had ever won the Queen Anne first time out for the season
    High Chaparral had never sired a Royal Ascot Winner
    I backed Toronado and he smashed the nil on both accounts

    For example Lambourn ran and won the Chester Vase… no reason why Pierre Bonnard can’t do the same

    Looks a very good middle distance horse for next season. Cant see why he cant be a serious derby contender.With the 3 from yesterday it will be interesting how aidan splits them up before the Derby.
