ATR are showing them...but they also have action from Kelso, Newton Abbot, Brighton, Curragh, Tramore...so it will be two seconds of the quality stuff followed by 20 minute previews of a seller at Kelso.

Though I see RUK are showing the whole card as they have no other racing :)
 
My horse Winter Dream runs in Listed race for first time tomorrow,hoping he runs well though he will be proper listed/group horse later in year over longer distances.Unfortunately I wont be there,I get to make 14 hour round trip in horsebox to provinces for my 3rd ride,go team Spoons!
 
Why is Soumillon on Lucifer Sam? You would expect him to be on the favoured O'Brien runner?

Or is it purely a Magnier/Tabor thing?
 
Yorktown out of the Fontainebleu; Zarkava may be pulled from the Grotte if the ground is too heavy.

Definitely looks like he'll improve for further.
 
Very impressive but it was a pretty poor race and take her out and the rest finished in a heap. Impressive turn of foot though.
 
His 2yo form already ties in closely with Hannouma who ran second in the Criterium de Saint-Cloud, won by Full Of Gold who of course came out and won the Prix Noailles last week, but he's surely improved on that again.
 
I dont think I have ever seen a horse pull through out a race like he did today and still win so easily....Sheikh and Coolmore might be ringing them soon.
 
Nice horse, although I don´t think he has improved from last year. He beat trees today and the only danger was Abdullah¨s horse and he had a horrible trip.I think Full of gold is a better horse. I also think Indian Daffodil is the best horse in the stable for the Classics.

I doubt either SMo or Coolmore are interested in a son of ROG. Coolmore sold Yellowstone and Eagle mountain and they don´t seem to have great faith in the son of Danehill.
 
Hi luis. Fair point regarding Coolmore and ROG despite his decent start at stud. They don't appear to have any by that sire in training as 2 year olds.
 
Imo, Rock Of Gibraltar has proved to be a rather ordinary stallion based on what he's produced so far, when you take into account the large books of high quality mares he got during his first 2 seasons at stud.
 
While I am not suggesting he is another Galileo or Pivotal, and taking into account the quality of mares he recieved, his initial return of Yellowstone,Eagle Mountain,Mount Nelson,Theann amongst others in his first season was not too bad.

Whats more is he seems to impart plenty of stamina into his stock which can only be a good think. I have seen far greater failures are stud who were given the same opportunities.
