    I’m not sure King Of Steel was outstayed he was just beaten by a better horse. They both stay the distance it is just one did it quicker than t’other.

    I’m not seeing he pulled off any great training feat. For one reason or another the horse flopped in the Guineas, was he given a hard race not in my eyes so no surprise under different conditions wins the Derby.
    Different scenario the horse wins the Guineas then follows up in the Derby, the horse is the legend and not the trainer.

    Scanning any animal when holding young can show a whole lot of information but whether that information can tell you a superstar is waiting to see the day of light I have no idea. Probably post race nonsense.

    I agree no matter what Stott did Ryan Moore would have had him covered.

    Kevin Stott himself suggested he went too early.

    My 2000000/1 bet on ITV not to utter the words Frankies last Derby lasted about 45 secs.

    I always set on record and watched an hour after the start so watched the Derby at 14.30, gives you the opportunity to flick through the ads and drivel.

    If he did win it he will probably be the first to represent the title of actually having a personality.

    Only just got round to watching to watching today’s Oaks Group ones. He is an absolutely master of his trade, of course he is on some of the best but nevertheless you have to ride them to the line.

    This looks a great race and one I’ll just watch. Never overlook German raiders.

    Can’t see how 5.5 at one track is much different to 5.5 at any other track unless the make up of the ground makes a difference.
