I had Justanotherbottle. He’s ran great, but to find one at 33s and get done by the shortest of nose’s…
Once Timeform give him a rating, would anyone mind sharing it? I want to see if they think it was as impressive as it looked.
What a beast he is!
This looks quite a bland looking Group 1 with Cracksman an unlikely runner. Crystal Ocean should be one to take on, in my opinion, at 13/8.
I like ROSTROPOVICH at a double-figure price. His form on better ground this year reads:
1st – Listed race
2nd – Group 2
2nd – Group 1He seems likely to take his chance. LTO was his best performance yet and conditions should suit.
Only so much you can do when the owners a persistent clown.
Fair shout, and I shouldn’t have disparaged the job Candy has done with the horse. Getting any horse to win two Group 1s is a great training performance. He should have won more, though, and as a big fan of the horse it’s disappointing to see the sorry state he’s in at the moment because at his best he would have laughed at this lot today.
Trainer has done well to keep him going for as long as he has.
Don’t agree with this. He’s spent too much time dicking about with his trip, trying to get a horse fast enough to win a July Cup and finish second in the Nunthorpe… into a miler. Four times.
I’d get him into a different yard and try and get the spark back into him.
Hate to say it, but Limato needs a change of stable. Two seasons ago he was the best sprinter on the planet, and now he’s not running his races.
Happily, for me. I think she’s a top class filly who has been poorly campaigned. I think she would have won The Oaks and will eventually be better over 12 furlongs. She ran a great race LTO when getting no luck whatsoever, and that looks quite a good Diane.
I like Drumlee Sunset. He ran really well LTO when upped to 3 miles, well on top at the line against some good rivals. Unexposed over the trip and has a fantastic record on good ground.
I wasn’t keen on her style, personally. Most of her questions were about how happy the trainer was about the result and what it meant for them, when I’d much rather Tom Stanley’s analytical questions about the horse and the race.
Oh Shshshshshshshsugar! The spoiler drawn right next to Harry.
Is this the same spoiler who set it up for Harry Angel in the July Cup?
That’s normal for Idaho, so I can’t imagine that had any negative impact on his race. He was just ran as Crystal Ocean’s pacemaker.
Strange pre-race for Equilateral. Drifted really badly in the market, and Charlie Hills gave an interview to RUK before the race during which he looked absolutely despondent – not the interview of a man who was confident in his horse.
Sands of Mali was the best horse in that race, for me, and you must be annoyed if you backed him! He’s interesting for the July Cup at a big price, but given how strong he was at the finish I imagine he’ll to the Prix Maurice de Gheest and possibly the Foret later in the season?
Unfortunately, my selection, ran a strange race. Was detached early, made steady progress, badly hampered 2f out, ran on again before being heavily eased in the final furlong.
Clemmie had enough to prove, my feeling was that she didn’t have enough spark on her comeback but others obviously felt she had. Questions to answer now for her on the stamina front on a poor day for the stable so far.
Is it possible that, like Churchill, she hasn’t developed into her 3yo season as much as her contemporaries have? I know she had a set back and today AOB said she will improve again for the run, but she just looks like the rest have improved past her.
