As you say half siblings. The devil’s in the detail. When you debut a colt at 10 furlongs and immediately step him up to 11 furlongs, it’s a good clue that he’s going to need every inch of 12 furlongs and then some to be seen at his best.

I was refering to Betterbetterbetter....who is a filly!
 
Indeed she is. I've edited to read "any horse" (i.e. same applies to Ernest Hemingway (colt, who made debut at 11 furlongs).

Could you edit the last part to say "seen at their best." please.

Not able to now. Although I managed to merge their identities what I was attempting to get across was that Galileo/Daarshan's ought to show strength of stamina rather than an aptitude for speed trips.
 
Infanta Branca isn't really a betting proposition in the 2.20 but clock watchers will want to see it win easily
ran 2nd to the fastest 2yo seen this season last time

The ground was like the road in Cork EC1...I wouldn't be hanging my hat off the time of that race
 
How did the winner keep that.... Carried the 2nd accross the track and Roche had to half stop riding. To get thrown outin Ireland you have to knock 2 or 3 over it seems...
 
The Reaper's race seems decently run OTB..fair few made the pace.....i can see what you mean re the other one

over 6f unless they really crawl i'd be pretty confident that those times can be used for comparison

time will tell;)...Liberating is the best 2yo i've rated if those comparisons are true anyway

Infanta has upheld it today..didn't win easily but never looked like losing

its early days yet obviously ..Liberating 75...Baileys Jubilee 73..Tassel 72

Tassel may be dubious as comparisons not great that day

Liberating is a small real sprinty 2 yo type. What she does in the next three months will be crucial to her career

If Betterbetterbetter wins tonight-will that be 3 classic prospects in the last week at Dundalk.

Interesting horse this being out of Jude who is a hell of a broodmare. Anyone know who Mrs Richard Henry is and how/why they've bought Magnier out of this horse?

This filly will definitely be running in an Oaks, I'd expect to see her at Epsom. Having said that though I'm sweeter on Kissed out of the same stable for that race. Surely they wouldn't be selling a stake in BBB if they didn't think they had something better?

She didn't buy Maginer out. It was originally in Her bane and Is now a half share with John Maginer. Presumably it's some share/mare agreement? Misque can probably clear it up.
 
According to the RP she has full ownership again? Magnier was only involved for a week. It's just unusual for one in AOB's stable to be in outside ownership. Presumably Mrs/Mr Henry are involved in bloodstock.
