Still blowing that trumpet of yours Gord?
People who thought vuvuzelas were bad, they haven’t heard TAPK!You can be quite funny at times Mr W! Trouble is Vuvuzelas will run out of puff in a fortnight!
And, as Marble reminded us recently, the great MVOB once said:
"If you think you’ve got four derby possibles you’ve got none at all"

How True
so how anyone can think three stablemates finishing close together signifies the kind of class to win a King George – particularly against a horse that’s already thrashed 2 of them out of sight – baffles me completely.

….not to mention Harbinger or Profound Beauty
Cape Blanco was always the "grinder" last year.Murtagh fancied Midas Touch over Jan Vermeer as 2yo’s but changed to JV for the Derby and SNA over everything.So in all honesty they(Ballydoyle) did not know which was best. Consequently it is no surprise that they finished so close at Epsom and at the Curragh.How much do Ballydoyle horses come on from race to race? Will the Derby winner take the summer to recover from a frightfully and unnecessarily hard race in the Derby?For me these are the questions to be resolved.Interesting that Aidan said he was impressed by the second and third horses in the Irish Derby!Like suddenly they were running up to expectations for a change.
