    Good race that. Winner did it well. Moore produced his with every chance. The 3rd is nice and when going up in trip.
    All comers, all grounds, all beaten!

    This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.

    Mori may be good for the Draw - Frankel's offspring could only manage 3rd (from stall 3) to Benbatl!

    Lettuce it is, but it felt cruel, one of those when you know you're gonna get to the leader, but you also know you're gonna get mugged.
    She ran very well but just one too good. Not huge damage thanks to 1.42 to be in the first 4, but still a loss after some big win bets. It's a cruel game at times.

    Sorry to gloat but it doesn't happen often. At 16s that it is probably my best antepost single return.

    Did it again on OOSG!

    Credit to the winner, though, he picked up again when the fav got to him.

    Todays really showed me again why I follow racing. Benbatl and Big Orange the highlights so far.

    I'd really like this Afaak to win, for forum member Fonz (and me) in the next.

    Initial thought is that the far side going is much faster now.

    The CoC has really fvcked this place up again.

    Something absolutely flew down the stands side rail for 4th or 5th, haven't worked out which place yet. One for the tracker.

    A Johnny Murtagh says. and plenty have said before him "it's a fair track, but it all depends where the pace is."

    Indian Dandy. Sometimes these fast finishers can be flattered. Clearly not the case here. Blimey he had to wait and wait. Flew home.
