Da Re Mi out – bruised foot.
Good.
She’d have been a bigger danger than Harbinger and Cape Blanco. The distance won’t suit the latter in this company.
Dar Re Mi should’ve been staying on at the finish, yet made no ground up and beaten some way out. Beaten 5 1/2 lengths by Sri Putra, she has to improve enormously on that form. Trip and needing it not enough of an excuse for me. Remember Steve Mellish saying it had to go down as a disappointing run.
On playback I thought she was not moving freely
. On best form 14/1 looks massive, but may be the
current odds suggest connections don’t think she’ll be at her peak and are just hoping she’ll come to herself in time.
Bruised foot?

Your apparent delight about a horse’s injury does you no justice Phil. However minor that injury may be.
Value Is EverythingDa Re Mi out – bruised foot.
Good.
Bad attitude
, I’ve never said this to anyone before but I hope you lose your money on the race, BigPhil.
PS and no, I haven’t backed her

She was a big danger and i’m happy she’s out.
Couldn’t care less what some stranger thinks. If she was killed i’d be very upset but that’s not the case.
Rising above totally unnecessary playground reactions to great races being sadly depleted.
………Even before Da Re Mi,Workforce looks a suspiciously easy to back price to me………record breaking Derby winner,arguably unbeaten if you’re prepared to accept genuine looking Dante excuses ( I am), open to any amount of improvement?…..shouldn’t it be long odds on?

Answer No,
Timeform have Workforce just 1 lb better than Harbinger (former with a p, latter with a +). Stoute’s current form being questionable too.Sir Michael’s runners today might change my opinion; but right now my 100% book is:
Workforce 11/8, Harbinger 3/1, Cape Blanco 7/1,
Daryakana 15/2, Youmzain 11/1
, Confront 800/1.
Backed each way:
Daryakana available at 16/1 (PP nrnb, bog).
Youmzain at 14/1 (Sky nrnb)Value Is EverythingI think Mr Segal made a really good point re Stoute’s form when he reminded us that Dick Hern had bugger all in his yard apart from Nashwan in ’89 and so naturally he went on long losing runs. Dunno about his 2yo’s but Sir Michael seems to have very little strength in depth in his stable this year and Workforce and Harbinger are his best horses by some way.
What a race it promises to be, pity Dar Re Mei misses the race. I am a big fan of Cape Blanco, I have been since the Dante, his win the Irish Derby was a little more comfortable than it looked, I think he won it cosily. I do believe he will beat Workforce tomorrow.

Harbinger for me.
I just feel he will run his race and it may be good enough.
Sure, Workforce could be anything, but that Derby destruction could be misleading – pace of race, tactics, horses acting on the course etc.
At 3/1 Harby would be a decent enough bet – despite Moore saying that Workforce is the winner (according to previous post on this thread)
good luck all!
Zip
Jeez, give yer man a break, he doesn’t wish ill on the horse. I had an ew on Dar Re Mi, and I’m disappointed to say the least but I’ve gone in big on Workforce now shes out.
Workforce – for the good of Horse Racing!
Unlucky if you backed Daremi but she had no chance anyway. I’m even more sure now Workforce won’t win.

Geezus I wish I was your bookie.
Workforce is so far ahead of Harbinger the only match is between the ears of Harbinger’s connections and the media selling us another A V B.
They say you should never take weight allowance into consideration but Workforce is not your normal 3 yo. Apparently he’s come on leaps and bounds since the Derby and looks more like a 5 year old than a 3yo. Perhaps he should be giving weight to Harbinger
On the plus side for Harbinger SMS is great at improving horses from 3 to 4yo and some have gone on to great thing.
With Harbinger though I think it’s been down to very good placement as much as ithas been improvement in the horse.
He’s a decent Group 2/3 horse but beat a Derby winner giving him weight……never in a month of Sundays.
Massively massively confident
Workforce wins with ease.
Gutted DRM miss’s the race, but it makes thing a hell of a lot easier to judge, for me.
Harbingers
last run, to me, was impressive, and a repeat perfomance would suffice IMO.
People crab the form because of the proximity of Duncan, but I believe there’s a big prize waiting for him somewhere along the line once things fall his way, and the pair were running away from the field at Ascot.
Nothing wrong with that form, IMO, and it should be enough to take this from Workforce.
