I love the idea of Frankel vs. SYT vs. Rewilding in this. Hope Rewilding misses the KG and goes to York. Would be fascinating - oh so difficult to predict!

I'll stand out against the seeming consensus on this forum that Cape Blanco is now finished. I take it that people feel this to be the case because of the unsuitable pacemaking role allotted to him in the Queen Anne (I agree this was shocking and short-sighted and bad for the horse). I still...

Could be wrong, David, but I think the 7/2 probably factors in the possibility that Rewilding may not be targetted at the King George. Given connections' belief that he needs a long time between races, they may be looking seriously at the Juddmonte International. I for one think Rewilding...

Not sure either, but pretty sure they'll keep them apart. If Await The Dawn is programmed for the Breeders' Cup Classic they may aim him at a 10f race in the US prior to that - either the Arlington Million or perhaps one on dirt.

Steve, SBS meant that some of the horses were entered in more than one race, or were you totally aware of that and simply pointing out the ambiguity of his English? Not up to your usual perspicacity. (I hope you enjoy both the English and the compliment. :lol:) SBS takes so much knocking...

Probably because Coolmore want Barzalona to get some valuable course/distance experience before the Derby ride on Pour Moi.

The much anticipated clash in the Queen Anne may not come off. Freddie Head refused adamantly to be drawn on Goldikova's participation. Please Freddie bring her to Ascot. Frankel may not have things all his own way in the SJP. Tin Horse is coming and could very well provide some keen...

I think Zabarajad will run very well indeed. If he doesn't win Saturday, I think he'll have another day. Very interestingly bred, which is no surprise since he's the Aga's.

Does anyone know why Galileo doesn't post any more? Have I missed something that everyone else knows???? :blink:

No Marksmanship in the Gallinule. AOB has several possible runners - maybe auditioning for the role of pacemaker in the Derby?

And to go a little farther afield, they haven't yet used D'Urbervilles or better yet Durbyfield or best of all Derbyfield.

Pour Moi won the Prix Greffulhe impressively today and is now 8-1 with one firm to win the derby. Will he turn up at Epsom - probably depends on how Recital and Seville get on respectively in the Derrinstown and the Dante. But he must be the Coolmore horse for the Grand Prix de Paris/Niel...

Prix Greffulhe won quite easily today by Andre Fabre's Pour Moi, owned by Sue Magnier. Has an entry at Epsom, and will almost certainly be Coolmore's entry for the Grand Prix de Paris. What French horse will beat him? Vadamar although third today was disappointing. Can see Grand Prix de...

Galileo ex Beauty Bright please before someone else chooses him. Thanks, Bar - this fun comp seems to be getting more popular every year.

Some of Coolmore's best mares have fillies this year. I particularly like the Smart Strike ex All Too Beautiful, the Kingmambo ex Alexandrova and the Galileo ex Mona Lisa, but all of these will almost certainly be better next year. Re Montjeu - didn't he have a limited season a few years back...

I meant to add to my last post: I think Rip showed a lot of heart, guts, bravery, whatever you call it, to start coming back to Poet's Voice. Also congratulations to the often-maligned Saeed bin Suroor for bringing Poet's Voice to such peak condition. In another vein, I wonder what Aidan and...

Yes, I think you were right after all, Galileo, although I didn't see it at the time. I was one of the ones crying out for him to go to the Irish Champion. Somehow I think Rip's entire career has been somewhat mismanaged - but he has been a very tricky horse to place just right. And really...

Murtagh has done well at Ballydoyle, but might be feeling a bit peeved at getting jocked off on a couple of favourites. Where else would he go? Hopefully he will stay at Ballydoyle for next year. After that, well... lets's see what 2011 will bring. Could they go hunting for William Buick ( a...

Highly as I regard Rip, I think Canford Cliffs' turn of foot would beat him again in the QE2.
