Road to the Epsom Derby 2011

[Harbinger]

Pour Moi for me. Little bit on Recital too. Best of luck everyone!

 

[EC1]

I'm quite surprised that Seville is so short tbh...beaten by the fav but still in single figures..think i'll dutch Seville with Recital

to say that everyone and their mother is backing CH..he's a big price..strange that

 

[Hamm]

I'm also surprised Seville is so short.

Recital is also stunning looking - almost George Washington like (I think another forum member said this yesterday).

 

[Harbinger]

Looking at Betfair, the only big gamble is on Pour Moi.

 

[swedish chef]

I'm hoping the overdrive will kick in at the 10f mark with Memphis Tennessee

 

[Hamm]

Carlton House and Pour Moi sweating quite a lot.

 

[Tout Seul]

Finally decided on Native Khan

 

[Hamm]

What a race!

Delighted.

Considering the way the race was run, I think Pour Moi and Carlton House are top top class.

Christ. That's one cocky jockey.

 

[Irish Stamp]

Christ. That's one great jockey.

Edited for accuracy Euro

Spot on.

 

[EC1]

he misjudged the winning post

 

[Hamm]

Christ. That's one cocky jockey.

I'm 99% sure he mistook where the winning post was.

A bit of an inexperienced ride from Joseph - got a bit carried away - if only he had waited another couple of furlongs before kicking on

 

[Harbinger]

Jesus. Hilarious and awesome in equal amounts.

 

[EC1]

Spot on.

how on earth do you work that?

lmao

 

[SteveM]

Job done. But that young man will get a bollocking from Fabre.

 

[Euronymous]

Andre will not appreciate the celebration one bit. Didn't he tear a strip off Soumillon when he won the King George?

 

[Hamm]

Because we can judge races away from excel sheets.

If you can't see they are both serious serious horses, I worry for you.

You were massively wrong about Carlton House, and massively wrong about the Derby this year resmebling a Group 3 - I will bet my life those 2 win multiple Group 1s.

First feeling is that CH and PM are decent enough but this isnt a great renewal at all.

My God, one lucky lucky boy is Barzalona:lol:

agree..winner did it well.. but not a great race..Carlton House as I thought not good enough...those sectionals don't lie

 

[Colin Phillips]

I thought it was an excellent ride by Joseph O'Brien.

And a well-judged, except for the last 10 yards, one by Barzalona.

Hamm, I find it difficult to agree with your opinion and I worry about your life!
