    The 2025 Glorious Goodwood Day 1 (Tuesday) thread

    Gleesin is definitely on the irritating side.Aidan wasn't too chuffed with matts pointed question about Jan brugheul. On balance though chappers usually knows how much he can get away with.

    Magnier is a gloriously grumpy git. Most sensible TV guys steer well clear.

    The 2025 Glorious Goodwood Day 1 (Tuesday) thread

    Good lord. The lads do like a flutter but Michael tabor seems the one who wades in. Scandinavia was very much fancied but they were not sure if he'd beat illinois apparently. Plus illinois had a hard race in the gold cup. No need for Lambourn to go to the leger now. Winner looks like a top...

    TV coverage

    Sir alex Ferguson was from a council estate in govan glasgow and turned out to be the best man manager ever imho. Matt Busby,bill Shankly the same background. I don't care where they come from just can they do the job they are hired to do.

    TV coverage

    Exactly. Focus on the horses and stories about the horses. Adele is very good at pointing out traits horses had and the whole panel said city of troy looked fantastic before the Derby. This is the kind of info that is interesting and helpful. Too many have clear bias towards certain stables and...

    The 2025 Eclipse Stakes

    Maybe delacroix Sussex and camille to the juddmonte. If delacroix wins the Sussex his stallion prospects look very rosy. Maybe wishful thinking on some folks behalf.

    The 2025 Eclipse Stakes

    It simply makes sense for coolmore going forward. There is no guarantee any top racehorse will become a top stallion. Delacroix is a dude and certainly is a great outcross for them but the way Wooton Bassett is flying and justify plus Australia and camelot still doing well its getting a bit...

    The 2025 Eclipse Stakes

    The chester vase form was thought to be average. Seems not. Same with the Cheshire oaks. Best to wait before judging 3yos.

    The 2025 Eclipse Stakes

    Clearly we could see delacroix started his run well behind ombudsman and ruling court and ran them both down. His 2 furlong and 3 furlong times weren't great as he had to switch and then get going again. With a clearer run I'm sure he'd have set cracking 2 and 3 furlong times. Even with all this...

    The 2025 Eclipse Stakes

    I've always thought of it as the coral eclipse. I'd say it's been a better race in the last few decades than the juddmonte.

    The juddmonte is the world's best race after all according to someone.🤣

    The 2025 Eclipse Stakes

    One of my fav horses. The juddmonte when he came late to beat twice over etc was brilliant. I screamed him home that day.

    The 2025 Eclipse Stakes

    Maybe but delacroix will I think improve from yday so nothing in it. Season suddenly sparking into life now.

    The 2025 Eclipse Stakes

    Coolmore have so many group one horses to juggle with God knows whose going where. Lion in winter probably Sussex,delacroix juddmonte, whirl Nassau ,Minnie hawk Irish oaks Jan brugheul King george with maybe Lambourn. If delacroix re routed to Sussex love to see whirl at York. She's a tough cookie.

    Visually that's what it looked like and if correct camille ran a great race.

    The 2025 Eclipse Stakes

    Deeds I believe gorgeous George's feet weren't great. Probably explained his strange running style. Maybe something passed from generation to generation like flat feet in humans.

    The 2025 Eclipse Stakes

    He definitely has the speed for a mile. Gorgeous looking horse and very much an alpha male. Reminds me of camelot in his demeanour.

    The 2025 Eclipse Stakes

    Moore getting heaps of praise. Think its the horse that deserves all the credit. Some performance to win the way he did. He did show a lot of speed in his first 2 runs this season so maybe not that surprising.

    The 2025 Eclipse Stakes

    Moore himself said the race wasn't run as fast as he thought it would. Interestingly gosden thought the winner outstayed his horse. Funny how we all see the race differently.

    The 2025 Eclipse Stakes

    Lost a shoe in the finish. Maybe why he jinked near the end. With the slow early pace not sure he didn't stay.
