I also like Secret Oath here. There’s plenty of pace here and it could very well suit the racing style of this daughter of Arrogate…
Here’s a link to a PDF file containing past performances of the runners:

“I have a theory Wild Beauty might not have trained on”.
In my view, your theory has now been proven…
Congrats BigG! What a price!….I’ve been a big supporter ever since I saw him play for the first time in 2007 The Open at Carnoustie. When he’s on, there’s no one more exciting or better to watch!
As for his 1st round here, his performance has a lot to do with being paired with Spieth. There’s no way Rory would “allow” Spieth to win a Grand Slam before he can win his own at next year’s Master’s….If you remove Native Trail then it’s anyone’s race, at least on paper. There’s nothing to distinguish the rest from the rest. But, I very rarely support odd-on favs so I’ll go with Atomic Jones who’s dropping down in trip from his last run where he finished respectable 4th to Stone Age (arguably one of the favs for the Derby).
Ian, seems you can throw a blanket over the top seven. Not much between them on ratings…
Mise En Scene for me, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Wild Beauty takes this if she runs to her Woodbine form last fall.
FF, he’s now co-fav (5/2) with Go Bears Go. I’m pulling for GBG, but the one of interest is Flaming Rib who doesn’t seem to have a preference for course conditions…
This morning’s featured group has Tiger, Rory and Spieth. It’s going to be a real blast watching these guys!
Same to you, BigG.
Hope Rory can put together four solid rounds, he only needed one at the Masters and still finish 2nd. That’s how talented he rally is!
Some big prices out there, good luck all!!!
Thanks, GG.
Too early to say, but he could very well end up their No.1 by season’s end?
Tribute to W. Buick who rode Yibir (3rd.) yesterday in New York and was ready to go today…
Cashet fought hard to the very end. Two vey demanding Classics, will she be ready for Royal Ascot???
“It appears Cachet runs.”
Nice to know, then I’m staying with her. Not too worried about the draw, class should prevail…
BTW, here’s the link to my above-referenced interview with GB:
Mise En Scene.
Tried to do too much chasing Cachet from the outside draw in BC Juv Fillies Turf. She can be competitive here, beaten only 3L by Inspiral on GS going prior to her BC run.
Ian,
Doesn’t appear that Cachet will show up here. George Boughey said following her win in the 1000G that she will go directly to Royal Ascot, with Breeders’ Cup being her final target this year…
Royal Patronage 5/1
His breeding suggests that he should be able to handle 10-12F. Put a line through his final race as a 2-year-old in the Futurity at Doncaster on heavy going and his form is on par with this field. He was 8th of 15, beaten 6L, in the Guineas which is respectable given the quality of the race. I don’t see a Golden Horn here so it’s any runner’s race….
FF,
Good points. What was Barzalona thinking on The Summer Is Tomorrow? He jumped out to the early lead through fractions of 21.78 – fastest recorded first 1/4-mile in the history of this race. No wonder he finished dead last…
ID, Moe,
I had another look after reading your comments. Totally agree, a masterful ride by the jock, Leon Sonny. I have never heard of him prior to this race. Good on the connections, they’re just “little” operation, totally unknown to the general racing public. Nice to see them getting their 5-minutes in the sun…
Just a general question:
In the last 6/7 months the racing world had seen two 80/1 shots win a couple (2021 Arc, KD) of the biggest races in the world. What is it about the bettors’ behavior that they dismiss such runners and assign little value where, upon having a closer examination of their form, doesn’t appear that they should be at such large odds?
