No luck with Atty Persse in the Old Newton Chaos (obviously didn’t take well to being gelded) but moving swiftly on surprised to see that
HERCULEAN
is running in the 4.00 at Pontefract tomorrow. Class 5 so he doesn’t seem to be progressing.
However surely this is his for the asking. (Hope Roger Charlton hasn’t gelded him too)
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Thought Atty Persse ran well and might have been a lot closer had he been able to be extracated earlier in the straight, wouldn’t be surprised to see some more improvement from him.
With regards to Herculean interesting to see they are going 10F with him but I would be worried about running him on the current quick ground as he didn’t appear to be enjoying it first time out at Newmarket and his Ascot win was on soft ground. Given his size I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that they have had some issues with him bearing in mind it was September of his 2 yr old year before he made his debut.
Think he could be an Autumn horse when we get some give in the ground and hopefully this softly softly approach may pay off down the line – could see him being an interesting prospect next season (much like a Stoute older horse assuming the Prince keeps him in training).
HERCULEAN won today, however i doubt he’s going to be as good as first hoped.
All comers, all ground, all beaten
DOMBRA
Running in the 4.10 at Newmarket tomorrow around 8/1.
Just watched his last race beaten a short head by Forseti at Salisbury in a Class 4, he was battling out the finish like a good Frankel should and I was impressed by his attitude.I have him each way with Journey Of Life (Rev Forecast) to beat the O’Brien much fancied Mount Tabora and anyway I like taking on Coolmore, he’s much too short for what he’s done so far.
Both Frankel beaten today so hoping to be cheering Dombra on tomorrow…Jac
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...There will be none happier today if EMINENT wins the Summer Mile.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...There is a Frankel 2YO at Maison-Laffitte tomorrow in the second race on the card.
DELAWARE is out of Zatsfine and is her second foal.
Trained by Andre Fabre the colt is on show early doors at 11.20 UK time.
You should be able to watch the race live at this link:-

Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.
ELWAZIR and WADILSAFA
not meant to be for EMINENT sorry Jac.ZARKAMIYA, the daughter of the legendary FRANKEL and ZARKAVA is now a stakes winner.
All comers, all ground, all beaten
So pleased for Elwazir and Waldisafa yesterday Chaos.
Was hopeful for Eminent in the first stages of the Summer Mile but he soon tired and think his time has sadly come to take a bow.Thought of writing to Martyn Meade to say I have a nice field at the back of our house where he could he live out his days totally spoilt and pampered, but I think they may have other plans for him.

Thanks for the link Steve. Will be watching with interest and hoping for a good show.Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...The trainer was heartened by the Ascot effort of Eminent, beaten four lengths behind Beat The Bank after a far from clear run in the Group 2 Summer Mile on Saturday.
“I think he’s improved 10lb from Royal Ascot and has proved a mile isn’t his distance,” he said.
“He ran really well in the Derby but his win over a mile and a quarter at Deauville made us think that was his optimum distance, but he’ll go back over a mile and a half at Goodwood now.”
This is all wrong.
All comers, all ground, all beaten
So disappointed by Eminent’s run on Saturday Chaos but today after a little break from a busy racing week, I’ve taken another look at the Summer Mile with fresh eyes …
Eminent was travelling really well at half way before meeting the bend where he had to go wide, he was then asked to go on by Colm O’Donoghue but at that point Suedois and Beat The Bank made him the meat in the sandwich, I think this surprised the horse as he looked left and right almost as if he were trying to get a bite at them and lost ground and all chance of winning.
The other factor looking back at his race record is that he doesn’t seem to like Ascot, he is much better suited to a more galloping track so Goodwood is going to suit him. He seems to be entered up in the Celebration Mile so can’t understand where the mile and a half is coming from as he also holds entries in the Juddmonte International at York and the Qipco Irish Champion Stakes, both under 1m3f.
Both Goodwood and Leopardstown will suit his style of running although he is always going to be vulnerable to fast finishers as he needs to be held up behind the pace to make his run.With this in mind happy to give him another chance to end the season in the winners enclosure.
Signed …. the eternal optimist

Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...I feel for you Jac, just don’t understand M. Johnston at all, he said his optimum distance was a mile and quarter, so why say he will he’ll go back to a mile and half. Am i missing something here?
SURYA made it back to back wins
All comers, all ground, all beaten
Frankel has had a couple of nice winners in France
GOLDEN HOOVES and RABDAN who followed up his 8l win with another 6l win
All comers, all ground, all beaten
That’s good news Chaos.
DOMBRA running again at Newmarket tonight. He might do better in a handicap than last time when he ran against some top class 2yo’s from the O’Brien and Appleby camp..took 10/1 this morning and hope he can open his account tonight at his dad’s favourite track.Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Al Shaqab say they’re looking at Group races for Rabdan now, which isn’t surprising given the way he won yesterday
