When will they learn? Was Sovereign not enough of an example to realise that some of these O’Brien front runners may not fall in a hole like most?
Ff, EK would not have won, if you take the winner out of the race, they still couldnt pass 2nd and 3rd they had an age to get past those two and couldnt.
In theory it might have been the other one ham,
but in practise it was the winner!
Only problem he had none to make pace for
but good for himself
No chance he was a pacemaker hein, he done the same thing in a maiden last week, im not saying i backed him or would have, im just saying, he definitely was not a pacemaker, he adopted this run style last week and would not stop
From the angle I saw ham, looked like frankie was giving him an easy time
I’d have to watch the full replay again as I was watching my bet mogul not frankie
I don’t think the result is a fluke though. Sure, he got a freeby. However, I think time will show this horse is proper group 1. He was powerfully eye-catching last week against exposed but useful horses.
He would have been much shorter if he hadn’t run a week ago which looked liked a crazy prep race.
Also, I wouldn’t blame the chasers. They were outsiders and why should they make themselves sacrificial lambs for those behind them. They probably got the best positions possible.
Delighted to see Marquands horse run well.

FF 3f out frankie was already throwing the sink at EK, he did close well, but he could not pass 2nd and 3rd, looked all over a leger run for me.
But you are right in the sense that 1f-1 1/2 out he definitely eased off him slightly, so possibly could have got placed, but i cant see him winning that atall even sitting closer to that pace
For me the winner is by far and away the best of those at that distance
Kameko a shoe in over 10f and 8f, did extremely well for a miler
Jockeys behind 4th and back though should be pulled in regardless
Lovely long striding horse looked like he was really enjoying himself.
Haven’t seen an easier winner since Slip Anchor..it was all over shortly after they broke from the stalls and they let him get away.
What a sire Galileo is.
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...AOB said they rode Serpentine like he was a stayer and jockey said he’s a 14f horse that kept going.
Dettori had no business easing off him. It is the Derby. There is plenty of prize money for the places and many punters will have been on each way with four places. He should have at least got one of those.
Pleased for Emmet McNamara. He went agonisingly close at the Curragh last week. He could have been forgiven for thinking his chance had gone yet one week later he wins the Derby!
