    :yahoo: well done Potato and Frenchy :good: :good:
    Saw The Beast in the paddock Potato and he looked amazing against KOC and also Zaaki who looked a bit dull in his coat.
    I didn’t like King Of Comedy going to post either and I wasn’t keen on his high head carriage ..so had to back Benbatl as the Saver as advised by Frenchy…
    There’s nowhere to hide in the paddock and going to post ..10 out of 10 for Benbatl on both counts…wet and very windy here today but drying out fast. Jac :rose:

    Absolutely sensastional from THE BEAST. I cannot name a single group 1 performer who would have been able to beat him today he was devestating.

    Not even touched absolute proper performance. Legend of a horse. No doubt that this is the best horse in the world.

    HE MAKES YOUR BEST HORSE LOOK LIKE CATTLE
    HE IS THE BEAST BENBATL :heart: :heart: :heart:

    Thank you all far too kind. Well done to Bigg for getting on at 8 also.

    What kind of racehorse is is this? Winx just brushed Benbatl aside :wacko:

    You were spot on Potato, he looks amazing. Yes I’m glad I jumped on the 8s, and
    I had a boost so those nice people at Paddy power gave me 17/2….it’s almost theft B-)

    Smart move Frenchy taking a saver on him, and Jac also after seeing him on the day :good:

    Very impressive today (well done backers), but there’s got to be a high risk of bouncing

    I would say there is next to no chance of a bounce. He wasnt asked anything at all today and had a very easy race even though the field probably in the main ran to their best form.
    He probably gets worked harder in training than he got worked today.

    KOC got so scared when he saw THE BEAST down at the start that he didnt even want to come out of the stalls today. KOC could have pulled out the break of his life and he still would not get close.

    IF YOU THOUGHT HE WAS A GREAT AT EIGHT
    THEN WAIT TIL YOU SEE BEN AT TEN :rose:

    No horse alive can stop him.

    Hope you had him in your Godolphin team Graham (BigG) :good: well done with the 8/1.
    Potato you put up an entertaining post, bursting over with confidence for your boy, a great feeling when it plays out like it did today. :good:

    Just leaving the course now and back again tomorrow. So excited about seeing Earthlight and Mum’s Tipple and mulling over the Cambridgeshire field ..won’t sleep tonight :rose: Jac

    I think you could legitimately speculate how King Of Comedy may not handle the Rowley Mile particularly well

    Good call TTM. KOC got worked up beforehand, fell out the stalls and then hated the dip.

    I’m not a big KOC fan despite tipping him up as my main tip. He is without doubt a quirky horse and that whole experience today must put most people off him now surely?

    He is going to the QEII as the target apparently, would be some training feat to get him to win that now, he’s not managed to train the quirkyness out of him all season really.

    Well done Benbatl backers, only a saver for me, but at least no harm done. I wouldn’t go too overboard on him just yet though based on that run. It was impressive after so long off but he got a soft lead and in the end didn’t beat anything. KOC didn’t run his race, Zaaki looked gone for the season, UAE Jewell back after a long break on only his third start and Happy Power going some way to proving his level really.

    I’m expecting Benbatl to go to the Champions Stakes if he goes to Ascot rather than the QEII and he’ll still have a bit to prove for me at top level in the UK but it is quite possible he won’t have that much to beat in it.

    Clearly looked well though!

    Yes I also had him in my Godolphin Compeition Jac, and in Pat’s ante post thread.
    He looks top class after that, if I knew which one between the QE2 Stakes and
    the Champion Stakes he was heading to, I’d lump on. He could have won that today
    pulling a cart :yes:

    That was a joy to watch Benbatl show what a good horse he is, great training by SBS. Well done all backers.

    Has to be a 130p horse after that with the horses behind running to form and you wouldnt like to imagine how far he would have won by if even given one tap at the furlong pole.

    He will be coming after Frankels 140 at Ascot. Anything is possible with THE BEAST.

    THE BEAST IN THE EAST IS NOW THE BEST IN THE WEST :yes:

    I do find you amusing Potato. I’m pleased he won for you (and well done too BigG).

    I didn’t have a bet in the race. Very impressed by the winner though.

    wd winners. I didn’t have a particularly stromg opinion of the race beforehand. he was impressive.

    I would hold fire ante-posting about Ascot, trainer was saying if the Ascot races aren’t suitable he would go abroad. Don’t believe he wants it soft hence the going abroad just in case.

    THE BEAST will bully any horse alive over 1m to 1m2f. This is without any doubt THE BEST RACEHORSE in the world currently.

    The greatness of THE BEAST does not stop there however he is going to prove that he is one of the greatest racehorses of ALL TIME at Ascot on champioks day whatever the going. The beast is going to be unleashed at Ascot. The handbrake is coming off. Saeed is going to allow us to see exactly what this horse is capable of. Any horse that turns up gets BEASTED.

    Soft ground doesnt stop THE BEAST

    WE WIN WHATEVER RACE WE WANT TO
    WHENEVER WE WANT TO WIN IT
    TEAM BEAST :yes:
    WORLDS BEST RACEHORSE
    DUBAWIS greatest ever son. :heart:
