I dont like frankie no more.he beat mine in the first and then got beat on turgenov.
I suspect Ryan Moore had a few choice words for Oisin after the Ribblesdale.
Ryan should have had a few with himself as well.
Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......
I'm very keen on Secret Advisor (took 14/1) in the 5.35 today. He won the 2017 Melrose (1m6f) off 4lbs lower but the next few home have all subsequently won off higher marks. Charlie Appleby produced Rare Rhythm off 97 two years ago to win this after a year's absence (and that previous run was its seasonal debut) ahead of following up off 105, 110 and running up to Vazirabad off 114 in a G2 at Meydan. I imagine Secret Advisor is thought in the same class and I can see him ending up going for the Melbourne Cup. Cross Counter was my bet in the KGV Hcap last year off 98 and we know the direction his career subsequently took.

I shudder to think how far Japan might have won with better tactics.
Did I hear Weaver say Moore was riding like a 5lb claimer in that race?

Two tomorrow that look overpriced.
4.20 Keystroke. E/W

Good luck everyone.
Oh and I reckon Lucky Deal will win the last.

Just catching up on today's recording...
Dettori admitting he went too soon on Turgenev - refreshingly frank
Gary Wilshire the bookie - I've never listened to him before but his enthusiasm for Dettori was brilliant.
Coronation stakes - take the winner out and nobody would quibble with any of the form.
I'm convinced more than ever that Hayley Turner is Lester Piggott's love-child.
Ben Vrackie lost at least five lengths out of the stalls only to be beaten in a photo. Desperately unlucky. Ebor winner?

I was delighted for Hayley winning yesterday. Seems very fitting that the lady jockey who has done so much to raise the profile of lady riders gets the long awaited win. Well done her!

I was never a fan of hers when she was coming through the ranks and she nearly cost Dream Ahead his first G1 but she was great on the racing programme and was very cool yesterday. She might just have been on a seriously well-handicapped animal but she didn't ask for an effort until everything else was off the bit and fairly sluiced through the field.

That was pretty impressive from Pinatubo.

Momkin looked a bit unlucky there. Seemed to be blocked in his run several times

I have to say I'm a wee bit disappointed that Masar couldn't take care of Defoe & co there. Obviously he might not have been 100% first time up but I was hoping he'd be involved at the finish without necessarily winning impressively. Take him out of the race and you've got a 118-rated horse beating a 105 and others rated 112-117. Group 2 indeed.

Well rewatching the start, I’m surprised he ran so well! And the second ran a blinder.

I think the sectionals for the sprint will be interesting. Dream Of Dreams must have given him five lengths in the last two furlongs and was in front of him a stride after the line. Did they go too fast up front? Great result for racing, though.
As an aside, is Oisin Murphy already preparing for a career beyond riding? He's saying plenty in the morning programme and being very diplomatic in his interviews. Is this thing about reading poetry between races genuine? When they showed him doing it on Derby day one of the TV guys said he was just doing it for the cameras. Red Pollard II?

Nagano Gold ran the last five furlongs in under 60s, furlong by furlong the fastest of any horse in the race.
