    I was very happy with High Definition yesterday. I bet him for this at 25-1 a couple of weeks back. I put it up on Guineas thread, but I forgot to put it up here, so apologies for that. I don’t think that was the run of a Guineas winner, so if not the Derby, then maybe St Leger.

    My other bet for this was Brazil, but that didn’t work out as well yesterday.

    Sir Lamorak @ 25/1

    Loved his run LTO. Bolshoi Ballet put in an excellent performance on the same card over same C&D but upon further scrutiny, (according to ATR), Sir Lamorak was about 5 lengths quicker overall, was faster late on, and carried 2lbs more. IMO there’s no way Sir Lamorak should be over 3 times the price of Bolshoi Ballet, so he’s my idea of the value in the race.

    I watched that race the other day

    High definition looked a huge horse with a massive stride

    Ideal for the big long flat straight at Doncaster for the st leger id think

    Be slightly worried hed get unbalanced on the camber at Epsom

    He looked like he was devouring the ground

    He was just a baby then. A starter before this season’s main courses :yes: .

    I was quite impressed with Wordsworth today. He showed a great attitude when he came under a bit of pressure.

    20/1 with Hills for Epsom is not the craziest price in the world. I would be hopeful he goes there given O’Brien always seems to run at least half a dozen.

    Wouldnt be surprised if he was aimed at the Derby then at the queen’s vase at Royal ascot like his brother kew Gardens was

    Derab 28/1

    Finished second to La Barossa on debut, to say he was given a tender ride would be an understatement

    Id be fairly confident that if they had met again that form wouldve been reversed

    Half brother to enable by Sea the stars so certainly has the breeding to excel over 10-12f and has entries in the dante and this

    Fingers crossed he wins tomorrow and then I’m on at a good price :good:

    Best guess is he rides the horse at home

    Other than that its a puzzler

    He’s 2 from 27 and 8 seconds for Gosden with 3yos. Weird one for me, i reckon Hannon’s wins today, as they’ll be wanting to get her to the 1000G so losing today would be a massive setback.

    Not going to completely give up on him

    Was a promising run, he looked a bit green and didnt have the pace of the winner who also looks very useful

    Hopefully improvement to come over further

    Not ideal though

    He pulled very hard and did not settle in the early stages. He was always going to struggle to win after that.
