Never had a chance too. Sometimes you just have to suck it up.
I don't agree. He travelled very strongly and had no where to go. Stayers don't quicken. They need to be in a rhythm.

Field Of Gold odds against for Sussex!

He did travel easily and would have won with a clear run.
Watching it I was thinking - Cauthen or Piggott would have taken the race by the scruff of the neck if they had been on Lead Artist or Dancing Gemini - if the pace was too slow for their rides they made it unless it was a horse that had to be held up .The pace was a joke - shambles of a race.
Henri had to come wide so maybe could have been closer. Camille pissarro a good bet I'd say.The second has really run well and got blown away. I'm now all in on Camille Pissaro for the Eclipse.
Was it Bob Back defeated both Comanche Run and another fancy one when 20/1; Lester and co got caught napping also; not very often but it happened.Watching it I was thinking - Cauthen or Piggott would have taken the race by the scruff of the neck if they had been on Lead Artist or Dancing Gemini - if the pace was too slow for their rides they made it unless it was a horse that had to be held up .

A great mix of trainers, jockeys and owners successful on day 1; Joseph must be the only one wringing his hands, not that he has much time to.
Remember Aidan and himself and staff are up supervising their horses work at home from 4am all week , flying to the races, walking the track, discussing tactics, saddling, schmoosing owners, press etc before flying home and starting again at 4am the following day; all week.

His price could look very big.

Willie Mullins has been quoted that " hopefully Reaching High will be back for the same race next year ". He's currently showing as the 6/1 favourite for the Northumberland Plate a week tomorrow. If he's too successful he'll be outside the 0 - 100 handicap range for the Ascot Stakes - 101 and 102-rated horses probably get to run - and he might end up running in the Gold Cup instead. I can't see them wanting to run down the field to protect the handicap mark for a race a year away.Fav all dressed up and nowhere to go there
He will go to Goodwood first. Should take care of them easy enough.
It's the anticipation of York and the trip. Also what takes him on. The POW winner was brilliant. May not happen but would love a smash up between the two. Others will have a say too.
