    One in the eye for knockers of the Derby form, and those who claim Westover unlucky to lose it need their bumps feeling.

    Race favoured the front runners and nothing came forward. Best horse won but still feel Desert Crown is better. Hopefully they will meet in the King George?

    Not long home and only just worked through the replays. Obviously a waste of time entering Tuesday. Take her out and Westover has won as we could have expected. Great performance.

    The Derby may not have been a great race so an upset here would not surprise me.

    Piz Badile EW for me
    2nd 18/1 says it all about the race. I certainly wouldn't be ina rush to back him for the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes

    Who could ever doubt he would ride Emily next time out?

    Despite a legion of punters and one or two Frankie Dettori haters taking the 13/8 with me the past fortnight, in Paddy Poweresque fashion, I am now paying out the 5/6!!!

    What a book that was.

    Still knocking the Derby form, when 2 of the runners finish 1st & 2nd in the Irish version.
    Will you never learn?
