Sussex Stakes 2019

He really is quite the enigma isn’t he, so headstrong and so much speed considering the pedigree and that was illustrated with the response to the whip Steeplechasing was talking about. Where does Mr Gosden go with him now? Stick at the mile or aim for the Foret or drop back to 6F? You can see the case for the Breeders Cup mile. I still wouldn’t be making excuses up for Ascot, he’s had a similar sized gap from his run in Ireland before Ascot to his gap between Deauville and today, perhaps the stiffer track did find him out. It’s humble pie time I was terribly harsh on Circus Maxmimus as well before today but he’s shown a lot of tenacity and made a good fist of it, probably needs a stiffer test at the mile but he’s justified his rating from Ascot. He reminds me a bit of Lancaster Bomber in that he’s not one of O’Brien’s most gifted horses and won’t go down in history but he’s a trier and you can’t fault a trier. Real head-scratcher for Phoenix Of Spain just never really kicked on from the front and wasn’t like he was staying on once headed either.

Too Darn Hot took some pulling up after the race today.
I think he stays a mile whatever the conditions or course and think perhaps he took longer to find his confidence in going through with his final effort when under pressure possibly due to his setback (I’m probably wrong)
That’s my biased opinion anyway..
Also worth noting that the Champion two year didn’t train on, got surpassed by others but has now overtaken them..

Well done Too Darn Hot backers today, He was smiling to himself in the parade ring just thinking of how he would cruise past Circus Maximus and win the race .. a terrific performance and what a great week of racing we are having ..Jac

Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...

I’ve taken some 10/3 for the BC Mile. Can’t see him beat in that TBH, perfect for the race.
