I was wrong, Golden Horn did have a class advantage. Brilliant ride.

Don't beat yourself up. You were spot on about Treve. I thought New Bay was the one to beat it, at least my mum backed the winner lol.....

Yeeeee haaaaaaa! Dettori masterclass. Criquitte must be wondering why!! ��
Golden Horn undoubtedly the best horse in Europe, delighted for Gosden and in particular Frankie who has stamped his class all over this season.

Well done. Great price in hindsight. I'm too obsessed with mid summer breaks when it comes to this race.

Yep. And I have to say, where was The Grey Gatsby today. On a line through GH he'd have been placed.
Ground was the key today - On soft ground Treve would have got a lot closer. Jarnet should have let her go a lot earlier as well but I think Golden Horn is as hard a horse as you'll find and would have kept finding if challenged. Great race, worthy winner.
Right, what wins the Abbaye?!!!

Gosden has long deserved a win like this. He's a genius and for me the highlight was turning Nick Luck's post-race interview from being all about Frankie to being all about the horse. Genius stuff.

Yeah, too short a trip and the short straight. Genius move from a trainer of handicappers.

She would have won on soft. I thought her chance was gone a long way out. They didn't appear to go quick. She was far enough back and was gonna struggle to pick these up on fast ground when they kicked. That aside she has ran a decent race, even if well below her best.
Sectionals will be interesting.
As for the Abbaye. Don't give a sh*t. Ok muthmir.

Fair play to the owner Anthony Oppenheimer too. Very bold in what he said earlier in the week and actually proven spot on.
That's the most enjoyable Arc I think I've seen.
