I sill can’t see why MCM is 7/1. Not unless the bookies know that a couple of donkeys will be pulled out for there to be 2 places e/w ?
Graeme, I completely agree with you. I’ve lumped on him each-way, 3 place terms at 7s, guaranteed winner one way or another, surely bet of the year.
With the race a little over fifteen minutes away, I can’t help feeling this could be something of anti-climax.
Whether it’s because we only saw Sea The Stars a mere eighteen days ago, I don’t know, but it wouldn’t surprise me if either of the Ballydoyle duo take their revenge today.Sea The Stars, an outstanding athlete and one of the best I’ve seen, didn’t win with the authority many believed (or wanted to believe) last time at York and this whole ‘will he run, won’t he’ saga doesn’t fill me with confidence.
A silly question given what’s at stake, but does John Oxx feel pressured to run the horse in his native country?
He’ll handle the ground and he’s got the right attitude to handle a fairly quick return to the track, but he’s been well campaigned and experienced tough races at both Epsom and York.
Fame And Glory is no plodder, will love the conditions and the race will be run to suit this time (unlike at Epsom).
Mastercraftsman is a silly price. He won’t mind the ground and is tough enough to run another big race. Underrated by many because he’s not the most flamboyant type.
Everything tells me that STS will find this very tough, but he’s no ordinary horse…
Not long to go.
Could have won how how wanted. True champion.
Will the last doubter turn the light off…..
Stunning. MCM a bit unlucky up on the rail but even allowing him another 1 1/2 lengths STS has improved about 3L since the Juddmonte.
Just a total machine.
Surely they must seriously consider the Arc now.
I made a statement a few months back that STS will never again beat Fame And Glory over twelve furlongs.
Mmm…not so sure after that.
Wherever he goes, I think we have seen an Arc winner in the Irish Champion.
HaHa all you doubters can now shut up and admit this is one of the best horses ever see.
That’s the reason i said on a previous page that i scrunched my bet up and binned it because STS wouldn’t be beaten. Absolutely cruised up delightfully and tanked them.
magnificent; Aidan O’Brien really out it up to him in a true run race, MCM and F&G got first run on him. One of the greatest ever, no doubts
I really hope he gets to take his chance in the Breeders Cup Classic. On the synthetic surface he’d have an outstanding chance. There’s nothing in America being aimed at the Classic that See The Stars couldn’t beat imo.
Even if Rachel Alexandra was turning up I’d still fancy his chances to beat her.I guess his participation at the Breeders Cup is down to how he performs in the Arc, which he’ll probably run in as long as the ground isn’t too soft.

Stunning – the boy’s an absolute beast.
I will freely admit that I have a substantial interest in Stacelita for the Arc, but I certainly won’t mind backing a loser if Sea The Stars is in attendance – it’s his to lose now, surely?
Magical stuff.
