1000 Guineas

Rumours Inspiral is out.

Completely mental she was as short as she was. Gosden one of the last trainer's I'd trust to get one ready for a Guineas without a prep. Tenebrism very solid I think.

I'm very strong on Discoveries on fast ground.

Is she deffo going? Her sisters didn't make the race.

100% running. Their runners have needed the run but not letting that put me off.

[Euronymous]

Fair enough. Looks a good renewal

Rumours Inspiral is out.

Was this the news item that started the rumours? I haven’t heard anything since.

Friday 22nd April, 2022 Inspiral on course for 1000 Guineas date
By PA Sport Reporters
Ante-post favourite Inspiral remains on target for the Qipco 1000 Guineas, although connections have admitted her preparation has not been “100 per cent straightforward”.

The John and Thady Gosden-trained filly was unbeaten in four juvenile starts, progressing from a Newmarket maiden in July, to Listed success at Sandown and then Group Two glory in the May Hill Stakes at Doncaster.

She finished her 2021 campaign with victory in the Group One Fillies’ Mile, but her not run since that October outing.

Chris Richardson, managing director for her owners Cheveley Park Stud, reports the filly in good shape, despite the daughter of Frankel not having had an intended racecourse gallop.

“She’s fine and like all these things the spring hasn’t been 100 per cent straightforward, but she’s in good form,” said Richardson.

“We were hoping to get a racecourse gallop into her, which we weren’t able to do, but John (Gosden) is happy and we’ve got a week to go, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed that everything falls into place.”

How could I possibly know.

It was sort of rhetorical. On the other hand you do have your ear close to the ground

[Desert Orchid]

That would explain his posture

[Tanlic]

If ever a horse ran at the wrong trip it was Tenebrism in the Cheveley Park over 6f

What puts me off is her being allowed to go off at 14/1 and the fact she was under pressure after 2 furlongs.

I just find it very hard to trust that she wont get left behind in what is a step up in class.

No doubt Chaet will run yet another good race but it's very hard to imagine her reversing placings with Inspiral.

If Frankie can keep out of trouble and switch the Gosden Filly off I think she'll eat this lot alive.

I'd rather take 3/1 about her than 4/5 Native Trail in the boys race.

I can't see Gosden risking her unbeaten record unless she 's 100% so I will wait till the day to back her.

My alternative would be an EW bet on Cachet who looked like she needed it when winning at Newmarket recently

Did he fall over?.hope he's ok

Inspiral's absence confirmed:

Longtime favourite Inspiral to miss 1,000 Guineas, says trainer John Gosden | Horse Racing News | Racing Post

Tenebrism is some rancid price.

[Euronymous]

3/1 is fairly tight yes. The only angle I see is the price diff between the two French fillies. Zellie was comfortably beaten by the Grafford entrant in the Imprudence but Fabre managed to get Peintre Celebre and Zafonic beaten in trials back in the day, it's all about the big race for him and so 12/1 is acceptable with the enhanced place terms.

Ask far as I can see he's never gone for the whip on Zellie.

[Euronymous]

Yeah, he never got busy. This is a really open race and I think on balance the fav is vulnerable (she was a bet at 7s when Inspiral headed the market but a fade at 3s now). Tuesday looks an Oaks filly but so did Love - Discoveries might flourish as a 3yo like her sisters but I thought her runs last year were average for the grade. It's difficult to be strongly against or for anything really - a complete contrast to yesterday in other words.

I took 10/1 Zellie yesterday based on similar thinking.

[Outsider]

I've done Zellie and mise on sane

You don’t get the prices on French horses that you used to but I remember being at Uttoxeter watching the guineas having backed Makfi and feeling pretty smug. I’ve always followed French raiders. Miss Macaire and Doumen coming over here in the winter and plundering everything.
