25/1 The Lion in Winter.
Listen this horse will be a sea of blue as soon as Aidan tells us he is the best horse he has ever seenCharles Darwin to conquer the World
How will L.I.W. cope in a soggy October i wonder.
With Kalpana they are working backwards with the Arc as the main aim.
Will be a beautiful sunny day, Mike
Besides always the cash out option Mike…
Charles Darwin to conquer the World
Middleton (kalpana entry)next week if they all stand their ground looks a decent renewal
Kalpana is set to make her seasonal comeback in next Sunday’s Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh having been ruled out with a dirty scope last week.
Gone in again on Kalpana 25-1 ew. Finished up the winner’s backside 1st run back. Strange that she drifted but suits me fine. ;o)
Kalpana 16-1 e/w.
Can’t believe she’s drifted after today’s reappearance. I thought she was clearly the one to take out of the race.
I would imagine they will stick with the original plan with Kalpana and head to the Pretty Polly Stakes next.
Sorry about that, VtC I actually checked your current threads but neglected to check the actual first page !?!
The gist of my missing post was how impressed I was by how confidently Estrange has been ridden.
I know it was only a fillies group 3 but she left the second, a Gosden Arc entry, for dead! The fact she also goes on soft ground is another factor in her favour come October.
In my eagerness to post I missed the thread at the bottom of the first page, so I won’t repeat the fancy prices that were available immediately post-race but which are now long gone alas. You can bet that I hope she turns up at Longchamp however!I’d love Estrange to win the Arc for O’Mera. If you’ve got the 33/1 then fair enough. However, I do think the ITV team went a bit OTT. She won easily but only from a Listed winner who – although Shaha was expected to improve – sweated up quite a bit beforehand and may not have shown all she could do… And Beautiful Love has gone backwards since her good run at the Breeders Cup (well below form today). So although impressive and would be interesting in a Group 1… She’s now 16/1 tops. The same as last year’s Champion Fillie and mares easy Group 1 winner Kalpana.
Value Is EverythingI wouldn’t be desperate to back her at current prices, GT, but what impressed me most about her performance was how quietly the jockey sat, almost as though he knew he could cover anything the leaders could produce. I do believe there is a heck of a lot to come from her
Oli Bell on ITV went totally overboard citing she could be one of the superstars of the season.
The more I know the less I understand.
