I like Gan Amrhas too, but watch out for Space Telescope! Hope most of those entered will run on Sunday, but I'll bet at least half of them won't. Of the Ballydoyle horses, I like Liszt. Can you tell I'm partial to Galileos?

Thanks for that, Trackside. I guess Shamardal's 'wobbling' was successfully treated. I don't know anything about this, but would have thought some breeders might have been put off by the condition. Think his record in last year's yearling sales was quite good, so I must assume they weren't...

Given the assured quality of mares that the Sheikh must have lined up for Dubawi, I'm amazed that he is not the favourite for first season champion sire. As the only group winning son of Dubai Millennium, he must have taken at least slight preference over Shamardal. As for the latter, superb...

Ditto, Katharine. You've said all I wanted to.

Sorry, Bull. Should have known better and recognized the way you used the word 'today' in your post. :o

Today is the operative word, Bar The Bull! (First of April) :lol:

Thanks, Galileo. Sunday's is another interesting early season card in Ireland. Chief Lone Eagle's race looks very competitive - hope he runs well. I assume if Westphalia runs he'll be Ballydoyle's No. 1. Also noticed that Famous Name is entered in the listed 10f race. He should readily...

Just bringing this thread to the fore again. Thanks, Galileo, for the welcome. Have you heard any news of Chief Lone Eagle yet? If he didn't work with the Ballydoyle two year olds at the racecourse yesterday, something must be amiss.

Ardross, this must be your day to pick on Yeats! I did so last year to my huge regret. Thought the young and promising Coastal Path could beat him at Ascot, so put CP in my two TenToFollow lists. If I had stuck with Yeats instead (as I had in the previous year's TTF), I would have had more...

Hmm. At two miles or less, I reckon Septimus would win. However, at Ascot, given good to firm or at least good ground, give me Yeats every time. Galileo, you mentioned Septimus's (and indeed all of Ballydoyle's) bad experience at Melbourne last year. FWIW, I think Frozen Fire (stays 12f and...

Thank you for the video, Galileo. I noticed that Chief Lone Eagle, who won a good maiden at the back end of last season, wasn't there. Do you have any news of this horse? I was looking forward to his 3 year old season (half brother to Virginia Waters I think).
