It absolutely doesn't. Even Mullins is shocked.
Very strong pace which did for the filly and the strongest stayer won.

We had a visit to Closutton Irish Oaks Day 2023.
I swear no horse ran up the Curragh as fast as Wpm's worked that morning.
Ebor winner that couldn't go to Oz owing to a screw.
Fast ground up his alley, was hard, hard fit and ridden for luck.
Le Paillon won a Arc in 1947 after placing in Champion Hurdle for the Head family.
Farney Fox ran fourth in a Washington DC International after being Champon Hurdle runner up .
Paddy Mullins memorably trained Hurry Harriet to defeat one Allez France in 1973 Champion Stakes, though she had no prior form over hurdles.
As the song goes " Sometimes it's hard when you're Willie Mullins "-
it can be a hell of a lot harder to be any other trainer.

I'm with you on the annoyance levels. If I wasn't having an OK meeting, the cat (which I don't have) would have been kicked through the french window by now.
Sometimes results just shouldn't happen - even if he is trained by the Almighty

Looking forward to seeing how Sierra Leone and "The Beast From The East" (Fierceness) get on against Forever Young, Journalism et al in what, for me, is the main event now....

Yeah. Even though Goliath was my main bet. I had some on ED also

Massive pace collapse was the reason he won the King George. Was hoping for similar tactics. I suppose the draw dictated where they'd be.Yeah. Even though Goliath was my main bet. I had some on ED also
but he just couldn't peg the Japanese horse back. Nice for them to have a winner though.

Good to see Flavien Prat's ability to bring Sierra Leone from the adjoining zip code remains undiminished by the passage of time.
That horse has run some of his best races in defeat, last year's victory notwithstanding.
Great race.

Currently getting pissed as a pudding on som very smooth neat Don Julio tequila (that I got free
), gonna try it with some red bull to see if I can focus.Hmmm these are the courses the Breeders Cup Turf has ran at since 2000.
SANTA ANITA (USA)
CHURCHILL DOWNS (USA)
BELMONT PARK (USA)
ARLINGTON (USA)
DEL MAR (USA)
KEENELAND (USA)
MONMOUTH PARK (USA)
LONE STAR PARK TEXAS ()
Don't currently have the Breeders Cup Turf race in my target trial/pointer race cross reference db , but gonna add it and see what it says when I cross reference it against the 1000+ flat and jump races I have set up.
Will be interesting to see if they're talking anecdotal shite on the telly as per.
Del Mar looks like it would be nice to visit

Better more reliable horse, that's all.

A MUCH better result, but I'm now going to have to come from even further off the pace than Flavien Prat on Sierra Leone if I'm going to finish this Breeders' Cup in front.
