2,000 guineas 2019

I wouldn’t be that quick to write them all off yet! The three this side seemed to have a massive advantage. And to me it looked like the ground was very loose in the middle too. The rain can’t have helped. And I don’t think TS was helped by having to make his own running. He’s much better than that.

Agree with most of this; the 3 on the stand side finished 1st, 2nd & 5th, and 66/1 the runner-up tells its own story.
The Curragh 1m is a stiffer test though, and without help from the Coolmore battalions, TS still might struggle to get the trip.

Back to 6 for TS and a look a Calyx.

Shame the Fabre horse didn't come across for this race.

I have an 4am 'wake up with anxiety' ante post double with MG and Japan to win the Derby, placed in February. Pray for me.

On my knees already, sir.

Is that cause you got down to pick something up and just can't get back up again?

[Colin Phillips]

Spot on, simmo.

Amazed they let the three on the nearside get so far ahead - they looked to be about three or four lengths ahead three out .

Skardu definitely deserves to be respected on that basis.

Even more amazing was that nobody came down this rail on the Sunday. I took Just Wonderful's 15 draw as a huge plus. Moore made it anything but.

Chance that they overwatered that side to even out the advantage and the jockeys knew about it.

I understood they hadn't watered because it rained during Saturday afternoon.
