usually a very competitive race for early 2-y-o.....but I got the impression that yesterdays was very below par, although I will keep the full result in mind for the next six weeks as it has been fruitful over the past 5 years, most of the field looked badly in need of a run apart from the first two who looked in reasonable shape ..... for the sake of it I backed General Alexander who fell out of the boxes, used up all energy trying to get to the front rank approaching the final furlong kept on at one pace
