The 2022 Derby Thread

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?

But I don't plan putting money on it so I'll be happy to see a performance worthy of a traditionally strong race from either of them or, indeed, any other sudden improvers.

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.

Piz Badile is alot better than we saw at Epsom

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

5/6 Frankie rides her next time 13/8 he doesn't!

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?
