    “Anyway, Ed Walker is a trainer and not a punter.

    Think you’re doing TRFers down. No TRFer said it was their own “thought process”, just a quote from the trainer. There may well have been good reasons why those TRFers backed Kawida given her odds, but her “form” with With The Moonlight was not one of them.”

    A quick read of the thread before your post describing that line of thinking as stupid talk would’ve seen 2 people using that exact line of thinking as a reason to chance the 66/1 shot

    Who was impeded and lost ground at a crucial stage, being squeezed between emily upjohn and concert hall and forced to switch would’ve gone damn close to landing the place money for their “stupid talk”

    Agree with you that people can use ther own thought process FF. I raised
    my reason for backing Kawida before the quote by Ed Walker was metioned.
    I did raise the runs against With The Moonlight as part of my thought
    process, although it wasn’t my only reason as I explained. It certainly
    bore out against With The Moonlight. I knew there would be a reaction to
    my original post, and there was as expected. I wasn’t going to respond at
    all, I know what’s coming, but it’s funny that you can be wrong even when
    you are right :unsure:

    Just come back to this thread – no words, literally no words.

    Well, other than the words that there is a forumite who positively enjoys starting arguments in empty rooms!

    Anyway, I gather it’s been raining a lot at Epsom and I’m predicting Good to Soft, maybe even Soft, ground there tomorrow.

    Changingoftheguard could be a beneficiary if I’m right.

    Nothing wrong with what I said, Ian.
    But has diverted from what should be all about two wonderful horses so have deleted my part.

    Nobody ever thinks there was anything wrong with what they said or wrote otherwise they wouldn’t have said or wrote it in the first place.

    But I personally respect you for your unilateral decision to delete a few postings.

    To summarise my view on a fascinating Oaks –

    While Emily Upjohn lost about five lengths at the the start, I don’t think it actually cost her five lengths in the race, but she’s only been beaten a short-head and she’s a big filly still growing into her frame.

    Tuesday hasn’t got the same physique and scope, but she’s a June foal who was only having her fifth race.

    They can both improve – question is which one will improve more?

    As for Frankie Dettori, I can’t blame him for the start, he wisely didn’t panic and gave Emily Upjohn time to get back into the race, but he’s come wider than the winner to deliver his challenge and I can understand the lack of nominations thus far for ride of the year for him off the TRF massive.

    There are very few top quality 10f-12f older horses around at the moment so I’d say both fillies will have a good chance of winning group 1s if placed well

    And they may not even need to be that good in the grand scheme of things to do so as there aren’t many 120+ horses about

    The older 10-12f horses (3 in particular) have been or have looked very good so far so it will be interesting.

    Baaeed, Bay Bridge and Hukum are the obvious trio who have impressed me thus far.

    Given how many group 1s there are those 3 plus hurricane lane, adayar and maybe alenquer is all there is

    And Baaeed will be staying at a mile until the juddmonte

    There will be winnable group 1 races for those two fillies especially against their own sex

    Could see Nashwa picking up something like a Nassau stakes too

    We’ve had more than a few spats Ginger, but I respect your decision
    to remove your posts as you think they detracted from a good race. :good:
