AOB not happy with the way the race was run. Didnt look like Love had an excuse to my eyes.
He really is a tank of a horse. That was impressive – I thought he was pulling too much early on, and it may cost him. Not a bit of it – took control early in the straight, and won nice. To use a cycling term, the strongest won.
I wonder if Godolphin will run Hurricane Lane in the Leger like other Irish Derby winners like Capri and Santiago. ?
Staying neutral on the matter, but one thing is certain and that is Adayar will carry 3 lb more and Mishriff will carry 2 lb less than they did today if they meet again at the end of the year.
Two very smart horses either way.
Whatever happens Mike007 will have the top price plus 2 points. As always.
BUY THE SUN
In the Eclipse WFA between 3 & 4 YO colts was 10 lb but today it was 11 lb, is that because it was 2F further or something ?
I wonder if Godolphin will run Hurricane Lane in the Leger like other Irish Derby winners like Capri and Santiago.
Maybe him in the Leger and Adayar in that German G1 12f race that Ghaiyyath won as a 4yo perhaps, then both in the Arc?
I cant see them taking a Derby and king George winner to Germany
Thatd be a very weird move
Or perhaps a drop down to G2 for the Prix Foy or something, as a warm up for the Arc? It would be a pity if both colts weren’t aimed at the Arc.
Of his runner-up Mishriff, joint-trainer John Gosden said: “I’ve always said after winning this race with Nathaniel, Taghrooda and Enable as three-year-olds that they’re helped by getting a lot of weight from the older horses. The winner looks incredibly good but we’ve run an absolute blinder. We’ll head on now to the Juddmonte International.”
I suspect he’ll have another big task there against 3 year old SMB.
