    Your a smarter cookie than me. I think he can win but I wouldn't back or lay him.

    I've got a feeling this year about the ballydoyle horses with a view to the breeders cup.

    I'm keeping an eye on it all.

    ITV covering the meeting a big plus.

    The two Ballydoyle horses are sub 1.9 on betfair -chronic under.

    Santa Barbara is possibly the best 3yo filly trained in Europe over 10 furlongs .
    Bolshoi Ballet was an expensive result for me -I can't see him winning a Group 1 race in Europe.

    Regarding Bolshoi, workmanlike but a decisive win and bound to come on a lot for the run.

    I saw one bookmaker quote for the Breeders Cup Classic.

    That's on the dirt thought isn't it?

    He's a group 2 horse max. No chance in a Classic.

    I imagine that they will target him for the Turf with possibly another race over there beforehand. Then market him as a stallion out there?

    Most likely to cement Galileo's legacy across the pond.

    Demolition from Hurricane Lane.

    Disappointing from the Rouget horse.

    This three year old crop is getting better with every race, it could yet be a vintage year.
