French Derby

I thought Cape Blanco looked in trouble from very early on - prefers going left handed perhaps as he has looked laboured when winning going right handed in the past..just a thought.

The winner was really impressive - looks a fine prospect.

Viscount Nelson ran on well to finish 4th-I could see him being campaigned in America.

Good call - Arlington Million type horse.

RP comments in running seemed to imply he was a bit one paced. Would those of you who've seen the race agree with that?

More or less. I'd like to see him over 12f to be honest.

I'd agree Gareth, he passed a lot of horses in the last furlong and looked like another two furlongs would suit well.

Thanks for that guys. Didn't see the race but would really like him to do well this season.

Secretariat Stakes on Arlington Million Day would be my guess although he might run in the Grand Prix French Derby before hand ... something similiar to what BBI did last year.

He looks like a horse that needs to be close to the pace as he does not have that burst of speed to be sucessful at the G1 level.
