    He’s going to France. If Pyledriver was a Galileo colt from Ballydoyle I reckon he’d be 4/6.

    Funny old game.

    He wouldn’t be going off 4/6 I can guarantee that regardless of who trained him the last 10 renewals have only seen Idaho in a shockingly bad renewal (Harbour Laws year) and Camelot go off odds on. He is still up against an Irish Derby winner at the end of the day.

    Aye but Idaho didn’t win the Voligeur with a penalty pulling a cart.

    Not sure Pyledriver beat much in the end there though. Plus there’s a big question mark over distance.

    Santiago is relatively weak in the market today, it’s actually not a market to get very excited about to be fair

    It was an awful voltigeur and on pedigree he’s a doubtful stayer

    Galileo Chrome 7/1 for me with a saver on Santiago

    Which figures suggest it was an “awful Voligeur”?

    Nothing I’ve read?

    The horses he beat are all useless imo TTC

    That’s fine, clears the path for Santiago. ;-)

    I think it’s a bit ignorant to label the beaten Voligeur horses “useless”.

    Royal Ascot winners, Glorious Goodwood winners, Group winners.

    Pyledriver looks a class act to me
    runs enthusiastic yet still has power at the finish
    The trip is a question mark but don’t see much else as a negative

    I would love to see Pyledriver win, I really would. I’ve gone for a bit of what I hope is value though with Berkshire Rocco 33-1 ew

    Now my horse has drifted to 20/1 with BF and PP, I took that on a boost to 22/1. I actually think this is a low class St Leger and an outsider could pull it off. Subjective.

    Mike whats low class about Santiago compared to Subjectivist? I’d be interested to know.

    It’s about an on average Leger over the last 6 ratings wise. It definitely isn’t low class, got an impressive GV winner and an Irish Derby Queens Vase winner.

    What I would say though is that no-one wants to back any of the market 3 leaders very much though so it does appear more open that I would have thought. The gamble on GC is insane, he should be a 12/1 shot on form, all this gives it an open feel to it which is maybe what you meant Mike?
