Steve:

Thanks for the write-up…I agree with most. Just one thing, if Cracksman goes straight to the Arc, it will perhaps be his last race irrespective of the result. I don’t see him traveling to States for Breeders cup and neither he will run as a 5yo. A sad end to a horse who promised so much in last Champions Stakes.

@Stevecaution – Why you think Cracksman wont run in Champions stakes?

And to think of it, I hold substantial amount of ITV shares, albeit sitting in a loss

Best racing coverage in the world. Absolutely enjoyed their coverage in Royal Ascot. Keep up the good work ITV

[Austin]

Looks like he is not the same horse as last year. There is no other excuse for losing here. Frankie after his last race told Cracksman does not like Epsom. But I was expecting much more from him at Ascot. Hope they don’t run him now until Champions stakes in Oct. We may never know in their absolute peak who was better between Cracksman or Enable.

Would want to see a battle between Sergei Prokoflev & Calyx in Dewhurst.

Cracksman for some reason don’t the like Epsom track. Won by a short head from Permian in Derby Trial last year and beaten favorite at the Derby. Nothing to worry….He should do better at Royal Ascot. As far as the Arc battle with Saxon Warrior is concerned, he will beat Saxon Warrior by at least 5 lengths at Longchamp. There is a massive class difference between 2 horses.

Not sure if many noticed, but there was a clear tactics from Ballydoyle runners to stop Elarqam. If you look at the race closely, Elarqam was running clear along the rails but suddenly US Navy Flag and Threeandfourpence drifted left to check Elarqam and he couldn’t get a way out of traffic. Similarly Gustav Klimt was trying to come in the way of Symbolization. But Romanised came out of syllabus and won the race. All in all a very poor Guineas.

Mendelssohn should try again in Breeders cup classic and Dubai World cup next year

[Austin]

Wow Justify is a beast. Mendelsohn finished last

[Austin]

Please brothers advice me whom to play on Saturday. I am confused

How about each way bets on James Garfield?

[Austin]

Aidan O’Brien will have a quiet season this year by the look of things. He don’t have the same class of horses he had last year. I would be surprised if he wins a single British classic this season. This is Godolphin and Charlie Appelbie’s year

[Austin]

Big G – In sportinglife its showing Silvestre DeSouza riding James Garfield.

[Austin]

Gutted with the news that Without Parole is not running. I was planning to back him.
Now Dettori does not have a ride. I think he will ride either Gustav Klimt/Saxon Warrior for AOB since Moore will be in Kentucky.

[Austin]

Think this will be the itinerary for Cracksman this year:
– Prince of Wales
– King George
– Juddmonte International
– Arc
– Breeders Cup Turf
