distintion ewYou rate Honolulu 9lbs better than Yeats for tomorrow.
Taking the 5lb pull tomorrow into account, that effectively means you consider Honolulu the better horse by 4lbs. Fair enough, at tomorrow’s prices Honolulu is a better bet than Yeats but I couldn’t rate any stayer better than Yeats.You’d be worried about Seamus Heffernan’s stats in UK. 1 winner from 34 rides over last 5 years and hasn’t even ridden at Goodwood in that time.
I think Distinction is a good each-way shout
Yeats to beat Honolulu for the forecast.
Aiden can do no wrong at the moment and both are going into the race after impressive wins at Royal Ascot.
Hardly an original selection, but worth a few quid.
Bulwark e/w @ 66-1 generally. Ground may be a bit quick for him to get involved though, all depends on pace.
but I couldn’t rate any stayer better than Yeats.
No even Septimus? He beat Geordieland by as far at Doncaster last year as what Yeats did in the Gold Cup but was conceding him 3 lb.

Yes DJ, but we all know by now how Geordieland needs riding, and he wasn’t ridden anything like he should have been in that particular race.
Have had a nibble on Regal Flush with a bit of my Duke winnings.
16-1 is an ok ew price and he should stay 2m as he has won over 1m6f at Haydock last year when Sir Michael Stoute trained him.
Why do the others even bother turning up?
The greatest stayer for generations. Good looking, consistent, enthusiastic, tough…and so on.
I hope we see him next year.
Well I guess tenbob will be revising his ratings.
Yeats was the banker of the meeting for me and is the best stayer I have seen race.
Well I guess tenbob will be revising his ratings.
revising more like tearing up and setting alight
Excellent horse, not much more to say, an absolute star.
Fair play to Tungsten Strike to lead all the way and finish a galant second, big run there.
Wonderful horse that Yeats. What presence he has! Superb call from Simon Holt as well, his pitch and delivery on these occasions are second to none. His call on the race today was right up there with his commentary on this years Queen Mother Champion Chase. Well done Sir!

Agree, the guy is top notch.
Yeats is the most beautiful horse and it’s a joy to watch him racing, but I realized today that I don’t feel the same emotion that I used to feel seeing Persian Punch and Further Flight…I guess he just makes it look so easy….
