    I think it’s a bit exaggerated Frenchy, but there have been some shockers. Take a peek at the mockery that was Haradasuns Queen Ann.

    More than a bit surprised too see Moore jocked up on Japan rather than Magical. Intriguing.

    Wow didn’t expect that, but think that just says Ghaiyyath is an absolute penalty kick here now. Thought there might be more AOBs.

    They have a clear excuse for Japan from the KG, but hard to have faith him to beat Ghaiyyath after that. Not backed anything yet but If I can get anything decent I’ll be on the fav after all!

    Good going or good to soft going Ghaiyyath will win. I have learned over the years you have to learn what are the good horses. This season has been very hard. But you need to learn the good horse for that year. Saying that with the late start of racing I am totally in the dark this year. I actually think most of the two year old this year are not up to much. I have backed two 50/1 shots for the Derby next year, both have group 1 entries. My thinking is if they do well I can cash for a profit. Lets see what will happen.

    I was thinking about betting Sottsass for the arc this year, so I’ll bet him 8-1 ew + hope that he gets close to Ghaiyyath who should be an easy winner here

    Ghaiyyath Japan forecast: will take the chance we can draw a line through Ascot for Japan

    Increasingly perplexed about Moore’s decision.

    Magical always runs to a similar level

    She is an Iron horse

    Ghaiyyath didn’t have quite the same spark today

    His run style must take its toll on him, hes not holding anything back in his races

    Still a brilliant horse, maybe wise to put him away for the season now

    Rematch in the Champion Stakes hopefully. Moore will probably choose an inflatable space hopper, if entered.

    Change of tactics helped. Eyeballed Ghaiyyath today.

    Backed the Monster in every race this year and gutted he lost this. However I think he is well due a rest after a hard season – not sure if just over 4 weeks is a long enough rest before Champions Day, I am hoping it is.

    If he had to be beat I am glad it was by Magical who is my favourite Mare in training by a mile.
