According to Timeform, she should beat TTarget for almost 3 lenghts. She could beat Sacred kingdom for more than a lenght as well.
I was really surprised to see her available at 8´s after her race the other day with Ladbrokes and I couldn´t resist.
The downside is that she might feel this huge performance on firm track and underperform at Ascot. Other than that, if she runs in the same value, she is a certainty.I think you should investigate about Alec Taylor.
Manton was founded by "young" Alec Taylor´s grandad.
The old Alec Taylor, trained Sefton to win th Derby in 1878.He died in 1894 and left the place to his sons Alec and Tom.The two brothers ran the place until 1902 when Alec took over ( Tom died two years later ).Alec Taylor trained there til 1927.
Horses like Sceptre, Challacombe, Bayardo, Lemberg,
Gay Crusader, Gainborough, Pogrom, etc… were trained at Manton.
He was champion trainer 12 times, including 7 times in a row from 1917 to 1923.
In 1919 Taylor sold Manton to Mr Joseph Watson ( although he was still the trainer ) , who later become Lord Manton.He died in 1922 in a hunting accident and the property came into the possesion of Somerville Tattersall.Geoege Todd trained at Manton from 1947 to 1974 ( when he died ). Trelawny and 1966 St Leger winner Sodium were his best horses.
Very taken with GW today. I think he will win the QE2 in style.<br>When is Ballydoyle gonna learn that they need to run proper racehorses as pacemakers if they want the field to follow them ?<br>

Looking forward to it cormack15.<br>I wish I could correctly predict how much Gwashington´s half brother by Pivotal or the yearling out of Ipi tombe by Swells would realise..
I think he should be popular as well.<br>Interesting to see how the Invinsible spirits sell this year. He is producing a lot of early, nice types.<br>A yearling out of Rash ( by RApplause ) made quite a lot of money last year in this sale.
Kinda guess work, without seeing the horses, but I´ll give it a go :
13 By Choisir – 31.000<br>31 By I. spirit – 42.000<br>122 By Kyllachy – 60.000<br>251 By C. Gene. – 50.000<br>439 By Hwing – 35.000<br>444 By Noverre – 22.000

Any views on this ?
RDTriano was sold to Japan for 6.2m and Robert  left his association with Coolmore the following year, although kept his 12 shares in Swells.<br>Sangster/Hyan had good moments at Manton with horses like Balanchine, Cape verdi, Turtle island, Colonel collins, Revoque, Victory note, Carmine lake, City honours, Commander collins, Saintly speech, Shining hour,  Oakmead, Stonehatch, State performer, General monash, Close conflict, Court of honour , Romanov, etc…Some of them were sold as Robert felt that the prize money in England was very poor. He also sold Carnegie to Sheik Mo. as a yearling for $1.6m<br>In 1999 Hyan was sacked by Sangster and moved to HK to take charge of Biancone´s yard.<br>Gosden moved to Manton and trained the likes of Ocean silk, Echoes in eternity, Percussionist and Playful act for Robert.
Tabor was on holidays in Barbados when JP McManus introduced him to Magnier / OByrne.<br>OByrne bought two yearlings for a client who walked out of the deal and he offered them to Tabor, Grandinare and Prince Arthur who were nice horses and both ran well. PA was a G1 winner in Italy.<br>Tabor instructed O´Byrne to buy a few more horses and they bought Thunder gulch for $475.000 as a 2 years old.Tabor sold part of Tg to Coolmore as a stallion and they become partners in many others horses afterwards.<br>

I don´t think Electro has any problem staying 12f.<br>I think he would improve with the addiction of blinkers though.
