An Enable win from a clean sweep on the daily Yankee with Magny Cours, A’Ali and Dashing Willoughby, gutting. Have a feeling if she doesnt clean up in the King George she may not even make the Arc and bow out gracefully before, but what a servant she’s been regardless.
When will they learn? Was Sovereign not enough of an example to realise that some of these O’Brien front runners may not fall in a hole like most?
Lovely run from Sharing, who didnt look all that well settled, started out wide and probably not on ideal ground. One I’ll be following back across the pond for sure.
The ground is a question, but I’m willing to chance Sharing here, her US form is bang there for me and she beat the highly regarded Alms last time in her prep (although Alms trip was a little unlucky). Couple that with her fast finished BC performance last November and I think if acting on the ground she’s a big chance coming late.
Golden Pal will be aimed at the Nunthorpe with worlds best jock Irad Ortiz coming over to ride. I’m in, hell of a race that will be with Battaash if the ground is quick.

Entered, first time I’ve done one of these so its an interesting thing to keep an eye on during these times. A mixture of French and English with, as far as I can tell, an American in there! Good luck everyone.
Anyone know why Sharing (US Breeders Cup winner) is in there to choose but no other Americans?
Uni’s owner says Uni could be Queen Anne bound nex year, says he’ll have to “do some arm twisting with Chad”
Its goodnight from Frenchy lol. Uni is some horse, she flies! Strange on Got Stormy, NBC feed said before that she would go to the lead when Bolo was scratched
Belvoir Bay!! She got me a place at a huge price out in Dubai so I had to follow her here.
Gutted for Dennis’ Moment and his stumble at the start, cost him all chance. If Sistercharlie, Midnight Bisou and Code Of Honor win tomorrow I’m going to be reaaally hacked off on Dennis Moment, as it will cost me a £1,750 win! That kickback looks horrendous, Irad Ortiz’ face was a mess.
Managed to pick up the first 3 winners howeever. Without Parole is hugely interesting tomorrow, Chad Brown says he’s been working extremely well with Bricks And Mortar hence why he’s thrown him in at the deep end, 20/1 could be huge!
I’m with you on that one FF, she showed similar 2 starts ago when I believe Got Stormy beat her, but Uni met alot of traffic that day and again showed that electric turn of foot late to place.
Arizona drew post 12 in the Juvenile sprint.
This is one of the few meetings I really look forward to VtC, and put plenty of time into finding bets. I watch American racing all year round and love their Grade 1 races, as much as it can sometimes be a sham watching jockeys just drop the reins on a horse in the straight.
The juvenile turf sprint looks exciting this year and Four Wheel Drive and Kimari both look strong.
I havent seen too many of the Juvenile Fillies but Bast is a real tough horse and did well to win last time, I prefer British Idiom though as she cleared away impressively last time when I backed the possible reopposing Perfect Alibi.
Eight Rings is already being touted as next years Kentucky Derby winner and he’s a favourite I like for the Juvenile, Maxfield is interesting on his win last time.
Structor in the Juvenile Turf is the one that interests me, I believe he’s still undefeated and he just held on last time but I like him as opposed to Arizona, who could of had a tough race on soft ground last time in defeat to Pinatubo and has had a long enough season.
Sistercharlie is the obvious one in the Filly&Mare turf, I just love this horse from her France days, and Chad Brown is excellent with these kind of races
I cant find anything stand out in the turf sprint this year, I’ll take a flyer on Belvoir Bay each way
Omaha Beach in the dirt mile is the one to beat, he was oh so impressive coming back from a lay off when beating Shancelot last time, and while Shancelot is now a slight unknown after 2 defeats following his huge win earlier in the year, Omaha Beach was once favourite for the Kentucky Derby so must be a well regarded horse
I’m still willing to trust the aforementioned Shancelot in the Sprint, he was unlucky not to hold on 2 races ago when trying to go gate to wire and last time I think he ran into one in Omaha Beach who wont be re-opposing here, Imperial Hint and Mitole are dangerous if they turn up but I think Imperial Hint has had his day and Mitole may not be able to rope in Shancelot, its all on if he can hold out late.
Midnight Bisou is my pick for the Distaff, an impeccable year so far and I cant see much troubling her, Serengeti Empress may be of interest e/w
Code Of Honor hacks up in the Classic. McKinzie is a silly price surely, poor last time and I dont think he wants this distance. I wish Maximum Security was running as I think he’s the stand out and I really like him.
Waldgeist has done very well I think, he looked like he was hating the falling rain at the beginning and was one of the first rousted along, but he’s plodded on very well to stick for third.
Carbon copy ride of the BC on Complexity from guess who…Jose Ortiz. Bolts up on Guarana half an hour earlier and then eases down after a barely hands and heels attempt at closing. Other than that it’s been a fair sweep so far, Mitole was in my acca with Complexity so him beating McKinzie has ruined my other accas, couldn’t write it. Need Tacitus to bring it home now.
