The exposed Actress' victory yesterday looks another nail in the coffin for the Coventry form, apart from Headway who finished 2nd and hasn't ran since the the first 4 out of 5 home plus Denaar for Richard Hannon who finished 11th have all been gubbed since.
The Phoenix should tell us a lot, Cardsharp v Beckford possibly.
 
Aiden O Brien can have a different approach each year as to how wound up his two olds are first time out.
He is forever adapting his modus operandi from what I see.
This year is his worst for some time .
Other years he would have the late Spring weather to blame but things could not have been better this year on the weather front.

Fair comment, but Rajasinghe ran with a 3lb penalty. He also looked to be crying out for 7-8f already. I'd wait and see on him.

Don't know how Headway measures up against Learn by Heart (Flame mentioned them together in a gallop pre-Royal Ascot). I liked LbH's last run as he didn't seem to pull like some Frankels. In fact he looked pretty lazy. At the moment he doesn't appear front rank though.

I think LBH wants a trip. the difference is Headway is very workmanlike at home, so it's probably not a good guide to LBH ability.
 
Anyone watching Jim Bolger interview on ATR today would not give up on Dawn Approach's stock yet.
Says he has eleven, ten of whom are fillies but are easy to work with and is pleased with them with a better ratio of colts for 2018.
Sorry he ran today's winner against colts before today but felt she was up for it.
time will tell.

The RP Bloodstock site hasn't updated the sires table as yet (problem?), so these are the scores on the doors from what I can find:

SOCIETY ROCK runs 95 wins 14 14.7%
RED JAZZ 74-11-14.9
HAVANA GOLD 59 -11-18.6

Happy with that, Benny?

Very happy. I think he wins. Surprising that Racebets are still 13/8 actually.

The only thing I'm not happy about is that I couldn't get a proper sized bet on. Racebets took £60 and PP £40.

Jim couldn't be considered unbiased, he retains a significant financial interest in Dawn Approach :)

Of course he is biased; never knew him not to be !
I am trying to remember the stallion that Jim supported a lot in the late 1980s; his first crop were fair but unspectacular but his second crop of 2yos had up to 25 winners, most trained by JSB. Nordico was the horse !

You have a great memory Edgt!

Nordico was a fairly versatile sire. I remember him siring Malvernico who won the Anglesea stakes for Jim and Denis Mahoney while his biggest claim to fame was when Nordic Surprise won the Irish Champion Hurdle as a 4yo under Charlie Swan beating the Sangster/Barry Hills raider Nomadic Way.

Eddie Kearns' son then rode him to finish 3rd or 4th in the Supreme..living down in Dunmore East last I heard.
