The Arc 2019 discussion thread

It's logical in my world.
She's only staying in training to go for the Arc. Nothing else. No point in winning another Eclipse. She's made that point. Or the King George V1 and QE. She's made that point. Or a Yorkshire Oaks. She's made that point.
She gets beaten in the Eclipse by a length. She gets beaten by the Derby winner by 2 lengths in the KG....what's the point of carrying on, and if the ground comes up as it did this year, why would you? It's not fair on her and besides which she already has absolutely NOTHING to prove.
And your post is extremely patronising.
Oh and if I happen to bump into Khalid at the races, I'll tell him I think so if that's okay?

Loads of assumptions and presumptions in there.

You can tell Mr Abdulla, I'm about the only bloke in the world, who told the world Waldgeist would beat Enable three months before the Arc.

I'll state now, if you see Khalid you can tell him Marb said this, that the only horse who can beat Enable next year is the horse who just beat Enable at Longchamp.

I think this makes sense. I think this is logical. There's a good possibility Waldgeist may be retired now anyway.

Apart from Waldgeist it will be third time lucky for Enable next year.

I'm glad Khalid Abdullah has made the decision to keep her in training for another season.No point giving Cheveley Park a clear run at the Supreme Novices when she gets the seven pound allowance.
 
Khaled Abdulla always struck me as a man with no ego; the day Danehill ran in Irish 2000Gns he stood beside me at rail beside old pre parade ring.
One of his managers came to him saying, "We can get in there, you know" to which he replied "I am quite happy out here,( beside Eddie) " . The bit in () I added for flavour, my Zelig moment.
A fine sporting man, best wishes to him.
 
I saw the replay of Waldgeists half brother Waldkonig winning at Wolverhampton on Saturday on his first racecourse appearance. Impressive or what?
