CRYSTAL OCEAN 10/1
Think drop back in trip be ok for him though need to be supplemented for arc which i hope happens can see him going well if turning up
September 2, 2018 at 15:26 #1368371I like the idea of Benbatl for this, and at 20-1 each way, he’s my selection.
I may add another, and I like the prices of Romanised and Thunder Snow
September 5, 2018 at 19:04 #1371129I’m struggling to see past Roaring Lion, trip is ideal, can’t see the ground getting too much softer in the next 10 days.
I can’t pick one to beat him, can anyone convince me not to lump on at 11/8?!
September 11, 2018 at 14:57 #1373619I’m glad no one tried to convince me, 11/8 looking a nice bet now he’s a general 8/11 shot.
September 11, 2018 at 21:20 #1373656Sky bet boosted roaring lion / alpha cent double to 11/4 yesterday. Well it would have been rude not to

Normally this means one of them ain’t winning!
I can only assume they’re taking RL on with Study of Man? He looked really good in the French Derby and has been kept fresh for a race like this (which has been a long-term plan).
September 15, 2018 at 19:54 #1374184What a great finish to the race
Roaring Lion must be getting close to horse of the year
Do we know if he will be heading to the Breeders Cup…?Blackbeard to conquer the World
September 15, 2018 at 20:22 #1374188Apparantly so nathan, sheikh confirmed agter the race it could be the plan

September 15, 2018 at 21:29 #1374202Proper hoss Roaring Lion. Change of speed is exceptional.
September 16, 2018 at 04:19 #1374349That was a poor Champion Stakes.
Roaring Lion ran 5 lbs below his last race and both he and Saxon Warrior were boosted by the deteriorating Deauville at 40/1 odds getting his best rating since July 2017 on Racing Post Rating. Deauville was once rated 119 on official figures but he is only 109 these days.
The race time was very slow and Saxon Warrior remains a horse who is still only 1 lb better than he ran in the Racing Post Trophy more than ten months ago.
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
September 16, 2018 at 11:07 #1374360The race was ran in the style for a slow time steve, they tried to slow it down for a guineas style sprint at the end which nearly paid off, thats why the clock and roaring lions performance is not as good as the stats say, its worth more than face value
September 16, 2018 at 13:33 #1374374Murphy quite lucky that the horse got him out of trouble. Winner can be marked up as he won with something in hand.
