Interesting to see a full colt as favourite for a Grade 1 over hurdles tomorrow. A rare occurrence indeed.
There’s no way Donnacha ever becomes the number one at Ballydoyle – he’s way too tall to be a flat jockey and has a maximum of one season left in him.
Camelot is looking quite the bargain at €30k now, although I imagine that fee will be jacked quite significantly next year.
We’re definitely going to have a soft ground Oaks and Derby so the better stayers may come into play. Anyone have any views on horses that would benefit from ease in the going?
Quite a bit of social media discussion about this. Apparently lots of money for Lancaster Bomber before the off (including some very big bets), whereas Cliffs of Moher drifted as badly as he did during the race.
So what is the suggestion being made, then?
What nonsense. Why would Coolmore prefer Lancaster Bomber winning that race to Cliffs of Moher? Neither are serious stallion prospects for them and will both likely be sold to stand elsewhere.
I thought US Navy Flag ran well enough in France and should certainly improve for the ground. 3/1 is probably just about still a backable price, but the real value has long gone.
Blown by Wind looks an awkward, gangly type and certainly not your prototypical 2 year old sprinter. I’d be surprised if he was the best of this bunch tonight.
Perhaps I’m missing something here, but Suedois surely must be better than a 20/1 shot for this?
I saw something on Twitter earlier stating that Contingent had died following an accident on the gallops last week, but can’t see anything now. Did anyone else notice that?
I was a Laurens backer so that was a bit of a shitter. I think Laurens definitely takes some big races this year, though.
