The Road to the 2012 2000 Guineas

[swedish chef]

The PA mob are pushing Trumpet Major... does anyone know who's going to win? Someone must?

Yes, Richard Hannon & John Manley - so I've been told

Ooops I've said it now - there goes my £20 e/way down the swanny :blink:

 

[Desert Orchid]

You couldn’t make it up.

You just did

 

[Miesque]

Ah the joys of Cork airport at a ridiculous hour of the morning when there is no where open to buy coffee. Crossing everything for Power currently!

 

[reet hard]

Camelot 4/1 with Hills to win more than 2l - which is just plain daft, imo.

Power is the dark horse for me. They are being very quiet about him and I would not be surprised if there was a plunge for him at some point over the next two weeks or even on the day.

Money is coming now.... Into 10 on betfair.... Third fav

 

[Melendez]

Looks to be a decent advantage to a low draw. I was deep into Camelot, but have more than covered with Abtaal having seen the first.

 

[sunybay]

first race , slow time
it looks more on teh soft side rather than gs

 

[Simon]

Born To Sea for me. Hope he can win a big one to keep up the family tradition now his mum's gone.

 

[Gamla Stan]

French Fifteen is double the price of Abtaal which is absurd. Time to bet properly.

On Abtaal...

 

[Marble]

Camelot looks a million dollars. Have not heard john Francome sound so keen on one in the parade ring for a long time.

 

[Harbinger]

Messy messy race, but Camelot pulled it out.

 

[Colin Phillips]

Congratulation to Camelot supporters, nice ride by Joseph.

 

[SlimChance]

Anyone see Power?

Winner had loads of trouble. 5/4 for the Derby. Well done SteveM and Camelot backers.

 

[Gamla Stan]

Unbefuckinglievable. I had absolutely stupid amounts on French Fifteen EW.

 

[Simon]

Impressive.

 

[Aragorn]

Well done all the Camelot supporters. I thought French Fifteen was going to get me out of jail and the French form was clearly decent but the best colt has won here.

 

[SlimChance]

The form through Trumpet Major has a real strong look to it.

[Harbinger]

Born To Sea disappointing but you'd like to think he still has a chance. Awful runs from Top Offer and Power, though, and why was Talwar supplemented?

 

[sunybay]

the form looks strong but the problem is the 7th horse.

 

[SlimChance]

the form looks strong but the problem is the 7th horse.

There is always one outsider that runs well in this race though?

 

[LUKE]

Well done Camelot punters.

 

[Euronymous]

Unbefuckinglievable. I had absolutely stupid amounts on French Fifteen EW.

Devastating. Keep beating the prices time and time again and not collecting.

 

[Harbinger]

the form looks strong but the problem is the 7th horse.

The 66/1 fifth Coupe De Ville and the 250/1 seventh Ptolemaic were effectively running in a different race, though they did both beat the disappointing Abtaal over there.

 

[sunybay]

maybe the far side was an advantage, Copu Ville had good form as a 2yo, Ptolamic is the problem


I will rate the winner as a good edition with Trumpet running his race
winner in mid 120s, he should have a very good chance in the Derby

Obrien rode a good race.
