    I think flying jib could outrun her odds in the Matron. I can forgive her run in America and last time on soft ground as I have a view that Mizzen Masts stock love quick ground.

    Could be way off but at 25/1 e/w I'm backing her.

    Ridiculous decision to run Tapestry in the Matron - she would have been much better off in the Leger !!!

    What has happened to Integral ? Surely she would have hacked up .

    Weld saying English Champion or Arc with the former more likely for Free Eagle.

    Bit messy that race. Would have been interesting had Purr Along found a gap.

    Sounds like The Champion or Arc next for Free Eagle.

    Dunno, Ardross - Coolmore have a huge interest in retaining the status of such races, and without Tapestry, it would have looked a near gp3. Tough for punters, but why should they care?

    Unimpressed with young Joseph's ride there. Not sayin' the better horse won, but, ................

    Awesome ride by Moore holding him up so far back and then zooming up the inside - Joseph went very wide there perhaps complacency from Ballydoyle.

    TGG was perhaps below his best at York and needed that race more than Australia !

    Al Kazeem ran OK I thought - they think he is much better going left handed and he was still very close to Mukhadram at the end .

    Ryan Moore is the best jockey since Lester no doubt about it .

    Superb performance. Obviously Moore made the difference.

    Jesus wept, an absolute shambles of a ride on Australia even if it is the great Ryan Moore gunning him down.

    it was always going to better being a long way away from that killing pace...Moore..great ride..got a clock in his head..Joseph went too soon..and too wide..imo

    but if horse is best that AOB has had..should still have won...i think he is a very good horse..not a real superstar though

    great ride by Moore is the story

    Have we got a time yet? Will be an interesting comparison with Free Eagle. The English Champion could be some race if these three turn up.

    Lack of respect for the opposition I think . TGG was running on well only two lengths behind at York .
