The Lads will be pleased their Chosen One has defeated another of their own horses which was beaten in a handicap off 92 only last week.
I take it back about Serious Contender – fully merited his inclusion.
Pity he wasn’t really asked to beat his stablemate. 😜
I thought the Derby was bad , this was ten times worse , horrific bunch this year

POA never lifted a leg again, third ran a great race and the winner is as tough as old boots
That screams St Leger to me, all he does is gallop was being niggled at a long long way out – in a previous era I could see him being a really good Cup horse (what most Derby winners of old would head for way back in the day) but that will never happen now he is a dual Derby winner.
Lazy Griff simply couldn’t go the early pace and finished fast to nick 3rd – not a vintage group considering how close Sir Dinadan finished to him (the same horse who was easily beaten 4L by the King Edward VII Stakes winner Amiloc).
He hasn’t a prayer in the arc , if they want to maximise his breeding value they should retire him now

If it came up real deep at Longchamp then he would be a player simply because it would disadvantage so many of his rivals and play to his undoubted reserves of stamina and he has also won on very soft ground in France as a 2yr old over a mile.
He wins 2 Derby’s, on both types of ground, and still gets some criticism. I wouldn’t mind owning a horse like him.
Mike you couldn’t even bring yourself to back him today , yes he’s won 2 derbies , 2 very average derbies , today barely beating a handicapper who was given let’s say a considerate ride , let’s be honest on the table of derby winners is he going to be at the top ….or the bottom
