Ballydoyle will go anywhere to race against anyone.Coolmore are all about proving their studs at the track.They threw the kitchen sink at Sea the Stars but failed to dislodge him from his pinnacle.Would that other breeders had the same attitude.
Three things we learned here:-
1.Golden Lilac is not as good as was previously thought
Crazy talk. Elusive Kate confirmed herself to be quite decent here, and on their previous meeting there isn’t much between her and Golden Lilac over a mile. Golden Lilac had the nightmare run and thus pulled her head off this time, clear excuses.
If Golden Lilac isn’t as good as we thought then neither is Elusive Kate, Cirrus Des Aigles, and a long list of other horses.The quality of Excelebration’s win nothing spectacular since he was fully extended. We know how good Cityscape is; he didn’t have the race run to suit and still stuck on for 2nd. Moonlight Cloud found trouble again and stormed home very well but we still don’t know whether or not she’ll stay a strong-run mile.
I notice a gentle put down of Excelebration since his transfer of trainership last year.Also the horse which Coolmore sold to Botti in exchange for Excelebration (Joshua Tree)won in France on Sunday.

Making excuses for Golden Lilac is becoming the norm, rather than the exception. I am not an Elusive Kate fan either.
The reason I pick Golden Lilac in particular is that someone told me she was a CERT for the Arc this season. We all have our opinions. To those on her for the Arc, I would say, good luck with that project!!
Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
