Wednesday:
3 FSS winners at Newmarket: Canterbury Bell (Ribchester) for Haggas; Wind Your Neck In (Decorated Knight) for Evans; and Lawful Command (Churchill) for Meehan.
at Kempton: Orzo (Aclaim) for Balding
Thought Soul Stopper (Postponed) and My Prospero (Iffraaj) looked to have futures
Colin Phillips (21st October 2021)
Thursday Wolverhampton: Odisseo (Ulysses) for Botti
Friday
Newbury: Zain Nights (Decorated Knight) for Charlton
Newcastle: Love Interest (Time Test) for O'Meara
Saturday
An across the card double for Ribchester: Flaming Rib (Dascombe) at Doncaster and Gisburn (Hannon) at Newbury.
Chelmsford: Windseeker (Aclaim) for Hannon.
Luxembourg (by Camelot) wins the Futurity at Doncaster and is the first 2yo colt winner of a leading race likely to stay the Derby distance. All the other top pattern winners look milers to me.

With the season coming to a close, COTAI GLORY appears to have an unassailable lead:
COAI GLORY 34
PROFITABLE 28
ARDAD 26
CHURCHILL 21
GALILEO GOLD 20
CARAVAGGIO 19
ACLAIM 17
RIBCHESTER 14
ULYSSES 13
TIME TEST 12
The leading sire of 2-y-o y wins this season (GB & Ireland):
MEHMAS 47
KODIAC 43 (can't see him being champ)
DARK ANGEL 39
COTAI GLORY 34
SHOWCASING 31

Monday
Atomise (Ardad) for Fellowes at Leicester
Trojan Horse (Ulysses) for Johnston at Redcar
Tuesday
Catterick: Manila Scouse (Aclaim) for T Easterby
Curragh: Dissociate (Almanzor) for Twomey
Wednesday
Wild Mountain (Aclaim) for Cole. This sire seems to be doing better in the last month or so.
Colin Phillips (28th October 2021)
Friday Kempton: Echosmith (Aclaim) for Adrian Keatley. Unless I've missed something that takes Aclaim into 5th, equal with Galileo Gold and above Caravaggio in terms of wins.
Newmarket: Audience (Almanzor) for Gosdens. An impressive debut.

Just saw where Mehmas covered 292 mares this year and Kodiac 239 .
Tally Ho indeed !
Reminds me of the story Michael Osborne told of his first trip to USA as Irish National Stud manager.
When he passed through immigration, upon reading his immigration card the officer on duty said " You are supposed to write your home address there sir, not your occupation !"

Two offspring with 100 or more RPR (as it happens they are both by the same dam-sire, Marju). The higher rated of the two, QUICK SUZY (RPR 106, OR 108) took the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot (5f. Good to Firm).
