Finally got my head around US Navy Flag's apparently suicidal run in the Irish Guineas, and decided it was a fitness run - with this race firmly in mind.
His full sister (Roly Poly) actually thrived...
Hardly surprising, considering it was from the next day.:rolleyes:
Though it's dried up some, it remains consistent across the whole of the straight course.
My money's still on the muppets.
Going stick readings (Sunday, 8.00 am):
GOOD TO FIRM (Good in places; GoingStick: Stands' 7.7, Centre 7.7, Far 7.7, Round 7.0) (Watering) (Partly cloudy)
With the readings only slightly above...
A cynical view, DO? Ascot is usually circumspect with the hosepipe and - given the forecast - I'd say the ground will be the fast side of good, for the whole meeting.
Amazed to see US Navy Flag...
Don't see SW as a runner at this trip. Michael Tabor said - even after winning the Guineas - a mile is not his ideal trip. They were talking Triple Crown prior to that race, too.
Second-guessing...
