I’m gutted. She’s absolutely flown home.
She’s still gonna win the Oaks and, as I predicted, she relished the step up in distance as well as the good ground.
Well done laurens
Ul september backers. Felt that didn’t get the breaks earlier in the race and when it did get a break it positively flew in the final furlong.
You’d have to be very confident about her oaks prospects now and she wouldn’t be a no hoper in the guineas earlier. I’ll have to take back my earlier comments 😀
Btw the trainers daughter and stable lass is a bit of a babe
33s for the Oaks looks nice now
Showed that she’s the fav for the Oaks, IMO.
Awesome race by Laurens anyway, I was on both September and Laurens, so thrilled about the result.people still writing off September(for next season)due to her size,but could it be a case that she is just a very good little ‘in like franco zola?
WD Lauren backers. Very unlucky for us September backers, no doubt the best horse in the race. Our belief was well founded on that little beauty

Just needs the ground more than anything, arguably ran two excellent races in ground she hated, shes ran 5 solid races and beaten by only a few who where on better terms than her with the ground
Not sure about the oaks, id be more inclined to think the guineas will suit better personally
Hard lines September fans, she stayed on strongly and for a moment I thought she might just get it on the nod.
Mine was well backed 25/1>11/2 but never travelled a yard, maybe that’s why Freddy Head prefers staying in his kip to visiting the UK
Magical was another who always seemed to be working harder than you would like to see.
Magic Lily had the Godolphin impressive winner first time/not progressing second start to overcome and the step to Group 1 right away is always tough.
I was on Laurens last time but felt that she might be chasing them today. In the end they rode her from the front quite comfortably and she would be the French Oaks favourite after that you would think.
Polydream beat Laurens readily enough last time in the Prix Du Calvados and with 5 wins from 7 starts since with Laurens winning today, it is disappointing that Polydream was beaten in the Boussac.
Efaadah was said to Freddy Head’s best for a long time but she ran like a drain today.
That’s racing. Well done to Laurens backers. Sadly I deserted the ship
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
September may be small but she has a very fast action, her legs positively spin. She has progressed through the season, no reason to believe that she won’t progress from 2yo to 3yo. I think Magical was very disadvantaged by running on the outside, she was completely exposed to the strong wind buffeting her from that side.
I feel for you MOM with such a deep conviction over September’s chances here. Dead unlucky.
I suspect the value horse to take from the race is Magic Lily who just got a bit tired toward the end. She did well to be up there and was outsped too. She’ll be much more able next year to carry all that muscle and should improve too with experience. Her size might be a slight downside at Epsom although she seems well balanced.

Diminuendo springs to mind, top filly she was.

Was a small fortune for me had she won. Gutted of course but it’s been a good day with Limato gagging up (see other thread) and I expect September to run another good one one in the Oaks at least and I imagine I will have value having 25s, 28s, 25s again, 20/1 and 33s.
The Godolphin horse ran really well I thought.
A high class renewal I reckon
How much have you got on September so far, Mom, if you don’t mind me asking?
I’ve got her in a fair few multiples and singles judge.
I’m not a massive punter other than a few times a year when I go racing or when I find a horse antepost. One for Arthur, alpha des obeaux ans September are my only three in the last year long antepost bets.
By that, I’ll put a few quid on every week all the way to the race.
I think I’ve probably got her already to return over a grand.
By the time the race comes, I’d have somewhere around £350-500 staked I reckon.
Have a few fivers and tenners at 20/1 and 25/1 and a tenner at 33s with paddy power.
That’s good enough for me.
Do you feel Mark Johnston has done a sufficiently good job of ruining Nyaleti for next season yet? Maybe 8 runs isn’t quite enough to have pulled the guts right out of her. Another two runs should ensure that she is totally burned out.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
Ascot was pretty good form from September. Beating Nyaleti 2 1/4 lengths with Masar a short head away in third. Nyaleti went on to chase home Clemmie and then won the Group 3 Princess Marg (admittedly from a poor field) by 5 lengths… Johnston horse a touch disappointing since, but two heads behind Laurens in May Hill doesn’t look so bad now and beaten only by one with the run of the race in Rockfell. Been a long year and well below form today. Masar improved a bit since Ascot. Won the Group 3 Solario pretty easily before filling third position in Group 1 Lagadere – only just over 1 1/4 lengths behind Happily. Meanwhile, September herself has been below Ascot form in two races. Valid excuses on soft ground; action of one who’ll probably prove best on a sound surface (like today and Ascot). Form of the Chesham is very good for that time of year and (with Magical below form) am not convinced September has any more than returned to form – not improved at all since. Question of training on from two to three remains.
Value Is EverythingSo she was good enough to win a G1 Fillies Mile back in June on her second start. Wow!
