    Mine is how Godolphin do this season with there Galileo progeny i think it could be the start of the rise of Godolphin plus all the classics and the massive puzzle Handicaps without the worry of them clipping the top bar and fading tamely :cry:

    Seeing the first 4YO progeny Of both Nathaniel & Frankel something i’m very much looking forward to.

    Think they’ll age like a fine wine, especially if the Frankels mature and calm down.

    The Craven Meeting really kicks off the flat season for me, I can’t wait to be there seeing all the new 2yo’s taking their first steps onto a racecourse and most of all looking forward to all the new progeny of Frankel making their debut. Newmarket is where a lot of our top Group horses make their racecourse appearance before becoming famous and you get the chance to see them develop from the very beginning. Last year Roaring Lion was a big standout along with the Frankel/Attraction colt Elaquam and this year looking forward to seeing them both give AOB a run for his money and take giant steps to winning either the 2000 Guineas or the Derby (or both) :heart:

    Love everything about the flat season, can’t wait for it all to kick off at Donny next Saturday. :yahoo: Jac

    Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...

    I am looking forward to seeing Galileos in the royal blue. Not because i am a godolphin fan necessarily, just to see if they get any success from them.

    Especially with a master in JG training them.

    Four flights of hurdles in the 2000 Guineas would bring in the crowds :)

    Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

    At last, proper flat turf racing starting today with the Craven meeting at Newmarket, you know it has started, Frankie Dettori has got out of bed and has some booked rides.

    I been trying to put together a set of speed figures for the 2018 flat turf, it has not been easy due to the continuous very heavy going conditions in Ireland, especially at Cork where the meeting on the 15th April 2018 went off the scale at -3.15s/f (quagmire), the two worse going allowances I have ever recorded both came from Cork…

    You can scroll the list…

    Mike.
