<b>He</b> wins 2 from 3… 2nd win being a listed race.. i don’t know how strong that was. He won his Maiden race pretty good..
What do you guys think of him?
I think he has a long way to go. But if he won the <b>Derby</b> that would be interesting <!– s:lol: –>
<!– s:lol: –>According to Sir Henry he is still ‘work in progress’ with the Dante a possible next race or another run at Newmarket this month.
On Saturday Tom Queally had him tucked in behind and tactics by Gosden’s Michelangelo to hold him in failed when a break appeared and he was able to quicken, but when he did finally get going he asserted nicely over his main danger Mariners Cross.
Seeing him in the paddock on the day he is very similar in looks and build to Frankel, apart from all the headgear he wears, and he definitely looks one who will suit further.
Currently 20-1 for the Derby but will he take part? whatever happens he is an exciting horse to watch out for this year.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...He doesn’t look to have the tactical speed necessary to win at Epsom. I very much doubt the course would suit him either. I cannot recall the last winner of the Newmarket Stakes to win the Derby.
I’d love to see Sir Henry nab a Derby winner, and 20/1 is my kind of price, however the colt has yet to run on anything other than softish ground. I wouldn’t be surprised if we are seeing very fast ground at Epsom in early June. I’d prefer to see the horse act on faster ground before risking my hard-earned.
…Perhaps Sir Henry has purposefully nursed the youngster towards easy going for his races in this respect?

Sorry for the hijack, but I noticed your signature, are you connected to Darley in any way? (It’s Dalham Hall BTW) I worked for around six years for their buiding contractors and have worked on most of the major buildings (Racing Office, Foaling Unit, stallion yard etc. Back then Alec Notman was in charge (Liam O’rourke now I think.) and we often had to cease work while the likes of Daniel Wilderstein and Louis Freedman strolled about and looked over the horses.
Seen some awesome stallions come and go too. Sharastani, Topville, Reference Point (Nasty buggar!) Ajdal, Danncing Brave and many other stellar names. Mares too like the magnificent Inian Skimmer. (Won me a small fortune in the Prix De Diane Hermes)
Had some great times up there.
Less than convinced by this horse in truth. Remember the World Domination hype last year?!
I can.but dont you think it was hyped by people … i remember watching
on the line
and some man was on there saying World domination gallops all over frankel
WD looked good in his first race but disappointing from there ….Noble Mission
has been a surprise so far . i cant wait to see if he is top class .
