    Just realised I’ve got an ante post on Regal Jubilee 40/1: must have followed people on this thread as wouldn’t have worked that out for myself. Fingers crossed!

    Nice one Green, anyone else?

    The things I want most in life are the things that I can't win.

    wd winners. Last to first. French horse ran a blinder. Ylang Ylang ran alright in view of an Oaks attempt.

    Fallen Angel not good enough. See The Fire terrible on the day.

    Well done winners, especially to you green after Minella Crooner yesterday at about the same price.

    Thanks folks but I actually just followed FF, looked at the thread before I looked at the race and liked the reasoning. She finished strongly last time as he said and was ahead of the winner after the post.

    Thanks FF!

    I feel very lucky with Elmalka. Brilliant ride by SDS. Tamfana unlucky in running (probably not Spencer’s fault). :rose:

    But the French horse Ramatuelle really should have won. Jockey lost it by increasing an already strong pace on a horse that had stamina doubts. I said she was a doubtful stayer, but she would’ve stayed fine had the jockey kept hold of her longer. Should’ve won by a good margin. :rose: :rose:

    Booooom

    Got some kick out of that

    She was so green but she’s so strong in that final furlong and has been all 3 starts

    That benbatl connection and her breeding made me back her on debut as she was related to plenty who won or went close first start and she fairly rattled home that day

    And she would’ve won the Fred darling with a clear passage

    28/1 :yahoo:

    Spot on ginge

    That wasn’t a good ride at all

    She has prix jean prat, prix maurice de gheest and prix de la foret written all over her if they don’t persist with a mile

    Elmalka is so green, surely only improvement to come

    The other thing to look at is the draw.

    16 beats 15, 11, 4, 12, 14.
    The only one drawn far side to get into it was Tamfana who had to switch to the near side to get a run.
    The 6th placed in 14 being rank outsider Rolica.

    I would not be at all surprised if the form does not work out.

    Best of those to race far side:
    Cinderella’s Dream, Fallen Angel. Don’t discount those from turning the tables.

    Well done winners. Another Guineas winner that was only entered in 1 mile races. Disappointing run from Cinderellas Dream who I really fancied.
