The French love a bit of dramatisation don’t they!
Oh they do, they do

What are they doin?
They do love dramatisation

Will Hill radio commentators (it’s all I can get) think that Fallon was doing more or less everything he could and that he had the stick in the correct hand, but also that the French stewards have reversed a decision for far less
I think they’re sitting on the fence 
Well they need to get they’re fingers out! The suspense is bad for my heart!
October 7, 2007 at 15:10 #118337DT out to 1.80.
There have been a few bad decisions in Paris this weekend already…
October 7, 2007 at 15:15 #118338Mon dieu! Hurry up I have to get to sleep before midnight!
October 7, 2007 at 15:16 #118339You’ve got nearly 8 hours, KT!
October 7, 2007 at 15:17 #118340If DT loses this i’ll be gutted. The best horse won.

I have 43 minutes!October 7, 2007 at 15:19 #118342What happens? Do you turn in to a pumpkin?
October 7, 2007 at 15:20 #118343Worse……….. if I don’t get my 8 hours sleep I am a
to work with ……… 
Sounding good on Will Hill – they reckon they have the result without a ‘stewards inquiry’ stamped on it…………..
October 7, 2007 at 15:21 #118344Would it be ironic if, after being criticised for running so many horses against each other in G1s this year, O’Brien loses his first ever arc because one of his horses affected the finishing position of another?

October 7, 2007 at 15:21 #118345I really want Dylan Thomas to keep the race, the horse deserves it and it will somehow compensate for the tragic loss of Danehill; this is an awful anti climax to a good afternoon of racing.
October 7, 2007 at 15:22 #118346Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy DT keeps it!
October 7, 2007 at 15:23 #118347Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy DT keeps it!
He’s the best 12f horse in Europe … but he was very lucky with that result.

SOF and Zambezi Sun are well over-rated in my opinion, SOF’s Epsom Derby 5th showed how good he isn’t, and nothing he has done since changes that view. Both will struggle to gain a place.
So much for the clock!
Apologies below please………………….
October 7, 2007 at 15:30 #118349how much is the horse worth now – how many millions of pounds have been added to his value by this result?
October 7, 2007 at 15:38 #118351Well done with that call, reet.
Do you still think that Soldier of Fortune is no better than he showed at Epsom, by the way?
October 7, 2007 at 15:43 #118353As somebody who has followed French racing passionately for more than 30 years, this will go down as possibly the single most disgraceful non decision in at least the last 30 years. No wonder I’ve become so deeply cynically about high level sport. I guess Ballydoyle’s millions have made it all the way to the French stewards room.
