The Weld filly would have to turn up first!
Click to expand...

I read the article when they said she would go for one of the Guineas as in Uk Ire or French.
I got the impressionbecause with the oaks and keeping her unbeaten they want the easiest one possible over the mile.

My take is it appears the may have been making too much use of Meditate and held up she might just be a far better filly
 
Yes I am a Nest fan too.
Also like the following....
Obligatory ew
Rougir ew
Modern Games
Nations Pride
Life is Good looked well in training although Flightline sounds like he’s going to be impossible (think Rich Strike could be a big price in that ew)


I love Highfield Princess but do slightly worry about her cornering...watched her training and she happily galloped around on the wrong leg.
 
Golden Pal will be all the rage with the American punters but that's not hard to understand as he's 8 from 10

The 2 he lost were when he travelled to the UK when he ran too bad to be true.

That said he's not exactly set the world on fire with his last couple of wins but Leseley Ward won't hear of defeat
and still claims he's the fastest horse he's ever had.

That won't bother Highfield Princess she has an extremely high cruising speed
and you can bet Jason Hart won't be pushing any panic buttons early doors.

Golden Pal ccan go as fast as he likes for 4 furlongs but when it comes to the last 1/12 furlong I reckon she'll eat him alive.

Trying to get 3/1 even on the exchange is like drawing teeth and very little 11/4 has been available.

My best bet of the day Knappers Hill won so I'll have the lot on Highfield Princess and if she wins shove the lot on Flightline at any price on offer...even 1/3 is generous:D.

The mare ran a bit flat. Maybe just a long season. Emaraty Ana clearly enjoyed training with the Godolphin team, bless him (I had a little ew on him and Creative Force)

I am kicking myself...I made lots of notes from the videos yesterday and just looked at them. I had written down...Forte (won last night) and Caravel...DIDN’T. BACK. EITHER......:mad:
 
Cody’s Wish...has there ever been a more incredible story? Sobbing with emotion here!
 
Great ride there by Ryan (take note DO......:whistle:) and lovely to see the Oaks winner silencing a few critics.
 
OK ride, awful race. The way people are going on and on on Twitter you'd think this was the World Championship of Racing. Not even close.
 
And another European Turf win...was there any doubt? Just such a tough genuine horse.

Sorry to see a horse break down...hope it’s ok.
 
Come on Rebels Romance in the turf.

Unbeaten on the green stuff and still available at decent odds.

Please tell me Buick has picked the wrong one.

Was I the only one uncomfortable with the camera zooming in for so long on Cody after Cody’s Wish had won ?.

Yes, it was a great moment and lovely to see the emotion of the family (and aftertimer alert, I’d backed the winner) but holding the camera on him fpr so long was bad taste IMO. The co-presenters words “you can’t see it, but inside he’s jumping up and down inside”
 
Well done Rebel backers...nice for James Doyle.

Pretty good result all round by the Europeans then? Course really suits our horses.

(Think Nations was a little lit up, had a roughish race and then didn’t have enough juice to pick up. Not his day).
