Older Flat Horses 2010

[Harbinger]

Nice pics. F&G looked great on the TV.

 

[Ardross]

Goldikova to start off in the Isaphan and then onto the Queen Anne. Would love to see her v Rip. Who else is there in the mile division? Alexandros, though he is a level below.

Paco Boy !

Yes those pics definitely do not do F&G justice - he looked in super shape.

AGE looks very narrow, especially compared to FAME in those pix. Nowt between his front legs! Yes, I want to know what's with the booties? Were the front feet also filled, Gal, or couldn't you see?

It was really difficult to see as they were walking him on the inside of the grass and then when I went to see the others galloping he was gone. I am not sure but I am pretty certain he did not have any shoes on at all - he is a real athlete to look at.

Oh, so Rip's now trained by Simon Earle, is he, Gal? :lol: By the way - is he still training - anybody know?

O'Brien quoted as saying that Fame and Glory will either go for the Mooresbridge or the Ganay. Presumably then on to this as has been the way in recent years.

Last season's Gordon Stakes winner and one time St Leger favourite Harbinger is set to make his reappearence in the John Porter Stakes at Newbury.

Fame And Glory entered for Sunday at The Curragh.

 

[Sara]

Saw Simon Earle at the Open Meeting with a runner, have not seen him since. I think maybe he is mainly doing hunter-chasing and pointing now?

 

[chroniclandlord]

Fame And Glory entered for Sunday at The Curragh.

Gan Amhras is entered in the same race. Before flopping at Epsom he looked like a real top horse.

Zenyatta wins her sixteenth in a row last night with an easy win. Video in link below.

[Triptych]

Spacious is back too this year. She's entered in the Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket on May 2nd.

 

[Hamm]

I'm hoping the star older horse of 2010 runs today in France - anyone think 6/4 quite big?

 

[chroniclandlord]

Is that Cutlass Bay?

 

[Hamm]

Yes - what do you think of his chances CL?

 

[chroniclandlord]

He is coming off a long break but he looked a good horse last spring and if fit I'd expect him to be good enough to win today.

 

[Harbinger]

Won by a neck in what looks a bit of a blanket finish from the photo.

 

[krizon]

Thanks for that, Powerscourt. She is beyond belief - loves to just hang out the back and lob along. Even when she's passing her competitors, she looks relaxed and unhurried. A true superhorse.

 

[Gamla Stan]

I thought Cutlass Bay had a great first time up run. Anyone seen the times?! Went under standard on "Soft" ground, appreciate it wasn't soft but even so, looks an awesome performance on the clock at first glance.

 

[Harbinger]

Do RP have different standards for the Grand Piste and Moyenne Piste?

Do RP have different standards for the Grand Piste and Moyenne Piste?

I'd be amazed if they do. Their French standards are cack.

Gan Amhras has been entered in the Heritage Stakes at Leopardstown next Sunday despite his poor run at the Curragh last weekend.

Saptapadi is a serious tool and will go on to a lot better things this season.
