    I realise that in his position as a trainer for the major breeding establishment in the world, his comments can be seen as purely brow beating for the purpose of selling services to future stallions, but it is also very concievable that the very fact he is training for such an establishment that each new generation would throw up the best so and so.

    I personally love it and enjoy watching to see if it all unfolds as they predict it should.

    I look forward to following the next Nijinsky. I hope he is given his chance at a triple crown. Whenever that maybe.

    He kept him covered for as long as possible, meanwhile the race was over.

    I just watched the race again and am convinced that if Ravens Pass was asked for his effort at the entrance to the straight he’d have got a darn site closer.

    He was not asked to go untill the winner was off and gone, what hope did he ever have of catching him ?

    Did anybody else think the jockey on Ravens Pass could have or should have got going earlier, is there any particular reason why both jockeys on Henry and Ravens Pass went through the field when it looked to me easier and safer to go around them ?

    To my eye, if Fortune set Ravens Pass alight down the outside and earlier, whilst Murtagh was going through the middle, he’d have made it a whole lot more interesting ?
