Go back ten years and the Guineas was THE race for a stallion to win.
Night Of Thunder, Kingman, Australia 1/2/3 made it a Stallion Making race.
Wet springs have caused havoc with Ballydoyle's last 2 seasons and Derby is their number 1 target.
They still show up for it though, so it is not just an afterthought.
Dry spring will see more forward horses from Ballydoyle at Newmarket.
Not being afraid of being beaten is the game changer here.
