    It’s who handles the ground best. Anybody’s guess. St marks basilica for me as he’s improving with every run.

    I thought it was interesting what Jack said about Hannon’s record in the 2000 Guineas but I would add as a caveat that King Of Change, Barney Roy and Night Of Thunder were all horses who didn’t appear until late on in their 2 year old seasons – late September for Barney Roy, October for Night Of Thunder and very late October for King Of Change, none of them were competing in the big 2 year old group races.

    I have no strong opinion on the race but I really don’t like Chindit for this tomorrow, its mainly to do with the way he’s been ridden the last two times I just don’t like hold up horses on the straight track at Newmarket its near impossible to make up ground. I think the fact we have a monster field tomorrow tells you all you need to know, nobody is running scared of anyone in that field whereas normally we’ll be lucky to get 8 or 9 in a Dewhurst.

    I have backed Chinidt for the 2000. I will watch the race and if it doesn’t go my way I will cash that bet out for the 2000. If an horse wins easily then he will go short for the 2000. This year it is hard to work out these 2yr olds. With the late start to the season the up and down going. We had a at best a listed runner win a Group today because of the sticky going. AS Dettori said, this season has been sh*t.

    Tinman what we have seen today with the sticky going you need to be up there within the front runners, the hold up didn’t do well today.

    Lovely drift on SMB at the moment out to 22/1 I’ve topped up on that. Massive price unless he’s lost a leg or something.

    Why is Jim Bolger running a once raced maiden winner not seen since March in the Dewhurst? :scratch: Is that a tip?

    Maybe, must rate him and wants to see how he gets on
    Jim once started Glor Na Mara off in a group 3 and it took that horse 10 years to win a race.. :wacko:

    Hannon will say that they are still both Guineas winners after today, they just didn’t handle the going.. :whistle:

    He’s well drawn in 14 on won his maiden on soft/heavy. Who knows with JB these days but I might chuck a few quid on actually with 4 places

    I wouldn’t be taking that as a tip from Bolger at all- he’s a very unorthodox trainer in the way he campaigns his horses. He had two or three maidens running in graded races this season without winning races.
    Might win though :good:

    His horses will handle the going but maybe not the course Hannon says.

    Thought Wembley was going to do it for you Vtc
    looked very messing down the rail side, will have to watch it again

    His horses will handle the going but maybe not the course Hannon says.

    So he doesn’t think his Guineas horses will handle the track in which the guineas is run on… :rose:

    Thunder Moon did well enough on that ground.

    THe ground a big factor but the first two have certainly come on since the curragh. I wouldn’t write off thunder moon though. I’d say the winner will stay 10f but Wembley looks a miler to me. Ryan is going to have some headache picking his horse for the 2000 Guineas. Aiden said high definition was possibly going there and he has battleground which many experts think is his best 2yo. Nice problem to have.

    Watching the race back i feel the best horse came second

    Not Ryans finest ride

    Held up last when over both days nothing has really got close from the rear

    And on the worst part of the track too as far away from the rail as he couldve been

    Id be marking up Wembleys performance
