Mostahdaf 13/2
Division looks open to an improver imo with nothing setting an unreachable standard in any of the guineas
Gosden has shown in recent years how to win this with palace pier and without parole who had similar profiles
Looks like plenty have held their ground
Happy with the price I got in such a wide open race
Very disappointing field imho. If lucky vega is going to win a group one this season it’s got to be here. I wouldn’t be surprised if an unexposed horse wins this.
The problem with Battleground is that it wasn’t just a bit of a flop but an out and out failure.
Handling the course is blamed but do we really see horses collapse that much on the Rowley mile and then come back to win a group one? I dont follow the flat intensely but I cant think of an example. Similar story with Chindit but at least he was competitive
I would love to see Bolgers win it just to defy the “cotton wool” brigade but counter intuitively I do also think this is coming a bit quick after the three guinieas
lucky Vega for me but Chindit the threat
Fantastic performance. One in the eye for all those who think horses have to be wrapped in cotton wool and lightly raced!
Easy to forget this horse won as a 2yo in March last year, just before the great shut down.
Winner was different class. A seriously tough animal to win that so easily when running his fifth race of the season.
Not for the first time an odd bit of ‘pacemaking’ by a horse from the O’Brien stable.
I think Palace Pier will be kept to a stiffer 1 mile and/or 10f rather than go to Goodwood.
Fantastic performance from Poetic Flare.
and lovely interview afterwards with JB’s daughter. Well deserved win and proving that Dawn Approach is all about quality not quantity.
