A Grade 1 without a thread in here?
Declan Queally rode and trained the winner, beating Mullins, Elliott etc.
Obviously a crap G1 then! ;)
I agree it wasn’t great. I would usually put up a thread for a race like this if VtC hadn’t but couldn’t find a bet. I was kind of interested in Letos and Kovanis at big ew prices but didn’t bet them, thankfully as they just tiddled around the back for a mark (or else are no good).
It was the kind of race that set up OK….and then nothing happened, and the winner got an uncontested lead that only Sortudo was willing or able to try to do anything about at the end. The omitted hurdles didn’t help the spectacle either. For that kind of early G1 novice it’s more fun if there are a handful of good horses in contention and heating it up 2 out, or failing that one superstar who cruises into contention, sweeps past everything and wins by miles on the bridle announcing its claims as the next big thing, but that race was neither.
Winner deserved it, pleased for trainer/jockey, wonder if JP will buy it, next please.
