Breeder's Cup

[On The Bridle]

George a very nice winner. Lots of talk on Shanghai Bobby on track.

He did that well. Doesn't se to be a huge crowd there for such a huge meet. Shanghai Bobby seems the obvious one in the next... 2/1 might look big shortly

Speculative punt on Title Contender for me in the Juvenile.

Put up a big speed figure winning his maiden at Santa Anita, and there might not be a stack of early pace in this.

 

[Miesque]

Packed from what I can see down the stands (We're in the turf club just at/past the finish) 7/5 on bobby now

 

[jinnyj]

Thats one tough colt!

Shanghai is a tough piece of work..

 

[Arkwright]

Looked totally exhausted coming round the bend yet found more.

 

[trackside528]

Some performance.

I thought he got a very poor ride if I'm honest.

 

[jinnyj]

Rosie reckonned he was just dossing and needed company!

 

[jinnyj]

Watching the replay I'd be half inclined to stick a bigger pair of blinkers on or possibly a visor - he definitely picked up again when the other horse came upsides.

I would concur with that though I thought she went for home a lite early

I don't understand why she took Title Contender on early. She would surely have been better served tracking the leader - it's not as if he has to go on early - and saving a bit for the finish.

They went 22.28 early; if she had sat a couple of lengths off the leader and let him go 23 seconds or so, I think he would have had things easier in the straight.

 

[Aragorn]

Any opinion's on the turf?

 

[trackside528]

Definitely firm. Good covering of grass though.

 

[Aragorn]

Touché

 

[del boy]

It looks between St Nic and Shareta for me.

In the Sprint I like the way Mike Smith was talking about his mount, Amazombie, and given how hes riding id be happy enough to back him.

Then all on to Excelebration.

That's three good horses hexed...

 

[Irish Stamp]

St Nick backers will be pleased I'm massively with Shareta - quick ground which she'll enjoy, short straight should suit her turn of foot and already beaten SNA this season.

 

[BigRob]

The fact Shareta isnt running on Lasix makes her a no bet for me.

I've done St Nicholas Abbey with the PP money back special if second
just hope JP does'nt have him too far back.

 

[Ballydoyle]

For interest went for a small ew on Cogito

 

[Aragorn]

St Nic for me.

 

[jinnyj]

WTF were the Euro jocks doing so far back???????????????

 

[SlimChance]

Shareta given no chance.

 

[jinnyj]

Agreed!

 

[jinnyj]

Its even worse on the replay - both SNA and Shareta poor rides. They were flying at the finish.

Valasquez on the favourite was equally as bad. Euro horses weren't good enough this time in fairness although Shareta was given no chance to win from where she was.
