That would be mental. Possible, but mental.

I think it is likeliest though.

I would be astonished if Treasure Beach went to the Leger.

...I wouldn't be especially surprised.

There is no chance Fame and Glory will run in the Arc - it is a typical case of O'Brien trying to talk him up as being good enough to contest such a race when all the evidence is to the contrary.

I can't be the only one who thought he would have won going away last year but for being knocked sideways. ...then again perhaps I am.

There were more hard luck stories in last year's Arc than gay people in Dublin last weekend!!

Gearoid,

How do you rate the Ballydoyle 3yo colts now, in light of the past couple of weeks?

I still think there is an element of truth to your belief that there are no superstars, but they seem to have a huge amount of strength-in-depth.

TB for the Turf
CC for the Mile
SYT ..Classic ?
