Homecoming Queen

[Peruvian Chief]

Amazing,only one extremely fit horse in the race.What are we paying those other trainers for?

Must say i completely agree with your point – i find the "lack of fitness" excuses quite ridiculous.

Et moi aussi. Can we conclude then that the classics come far too early in the season?

"this perfect mix of poetry and destruction, this glory of rhythm, power and majesty: the undisputed champion of the world!!!"

Well today’s facile Musidora winner didn’t quite manage to get withing 10 lengths of Homecoming Queen at Newmarket.

Probably not fit.

Can i have a flake with that Dunc?

Cant wait to see her again today to prove it wasn’t a fluke hopefully

I will be surprised if Homecoming Queen hasn’t improved since her Newmarket win and even more surprised if she doesn’t take the Irish 1,000 today.

The writing was on the wall once HQ started drifting like a barge in the betting. Obviously a soft ground filly, given her high knee action.

A terrific win by HQ no doubt, however I think it might be a bit early to be heralding this filly as a truly great horse. The fillies are all over the place. It must be the coldest spring I can recall. Half of them probably still carrying wool. There’s no doubt the local fillies are backwards yet. Added to that we had a completely bizarre start to the race with the horses having time to cool down and perhaps for their performances to be affected

Forgot to add that she had ground there that you would never expect at Newmarket in the spring. It’s like a bog here at the moment comparatively speaking. It may also be that she revelled particularly in the soft conditions.

The point I’m trying to make is that there were a number of anomalies that you wouldn’t expect from a ‘normal’ Guineas.

I guess time will tell if she’s genuinely the world beater that she potentially looked yesterday.

Neither the British or Irish Guineas wins were flukes, when you look at the individual horses form under those conditions.
Collateral form – well it’s fillys.

HQ didn’t look at all impressive in the parade ring, sweating a bit and I have seen her look much better. Ground may have played a role as well, but suspect she had an off day

It’s a post pre-empting those who might think both were flukes. It’s not aftertiming.
