    Thanks BigG.
    My comments weren’t aimed at you at all anyway; although may be I should have made that clearer.

    Making things clearer is the way forward – for all of us, me included.

    Watching the verdict

    They’ve gone absolutely no pace here

    Finished speed percentage of just under 120% which is very very high

    The first and second must be absolutely miles better than the rest to have come from the back off such a steady gallop

    Got to mark them up given how the race had been run

    Looks like Tuesday and Emily Upjohn have revised ORs of 117.

    Third-placed Nashwa (112) drops to 1m2f110yds for the Prix De Diane (French Oaks) and I think that’s the smart move.

    Both the first two rated 119p by Timeform in today’s update.

    I’d say at my Timeform-BHA OR “currency” conversion rate the BHA respect the Oaks more than Timeform do.

    Both look to be above average horses. The second due to the way the race went and the winner given her third run in quick sucession and being just turned 3. I think she won despite not great race placeement by the lads. It will be fascinating to see how both develop. As i say repeatedly nobody knows how much horses will improve. One of aidens could improve past both of them.
    I hope the are kept apart then have them both against the derby winner in the arc or the breeders cup. That would be fabby.

    “I’d say at my Timeform-BHA OR “currency” conversion rate the BHA respect the Oaks more than Timeform do”.

    ————————

    In the Derby it’s possible to have a fair idea and therefore adding a number of lbs for how much Desert Crown was eased and how much Westover was inconvenienced by interference a furlong out…

    Timeform probably haven’t added as many lbs to the Oaks than the OR because it’s Difficult to know just how many lbs to add for what happened at the start and also how much for the pair coming from the back in a comparatively slowly run race.

    From what Timeform write I’d say they have great respect for the Oaks result. Not only Tuesday and Emily Upjohn’s futures but say of the third Nashwa… “she too has a good race in her”. All three fillies still having the “p”.
