    Champions Day

    I've got two grandstand tickets and invites to the party after if anyone would like them? I've got them for doing the racemaker thing - but im meant to be away that weekend and IT seems a shame to waste them.... I've been lucky enough to gain from generous people before and it's my turn to pay it forward

    First come can have them

    Wish I could take you up on your kind offer, Troods, but not up to it I'm afraid.

    I'm sure someone will be along in a moment.
    Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......

    Using this thread to go onto the racing I am sure it will be a great day again but the rest of the end of the season has turned into a complete dog's dinner - most of all Future Champions Day - a back of a fag packet idea of an idiot.

    If the ground is soft I cannot see Australia or TGG turning up for the Champion .

    Cirrus won last week and we know he tends to improve no end after the Dollar - before his Coronation Cup injury he had been in supreme form this spring beating Treve . Olympic Glory and Flintshire . He looks a mad price to me compared to Free Eagle who has it to prove at this level although his G3 win was spectacular .

    The ground is already soft.
    Noble Mission will run well. Wish ROTW had skipped Longchamp.

    Can see Tonto being in the 3 in the mile.

    this has reminded me that I had a dream that it won the mile last night. Must stay off the sauce.

    Keep your dreams to yourself son. Stay off the cider too.

    So are there any actual Champions running on Saturday? Still going but feeling like its all an anti climax now - surely they have to move it to before the Arc?

    Cirrus Des Aigles I would say is a Champion. I think he's worth taking on at the price though. ROTW was only half a length behind him in the race last year but is 7/1 as opposed to 6/4.

    Granted CDA is a Champion but with the ground going to be on the heavy side of soft what size fields are they going to be looking at? Just feeling a little deflated by the whole thing - its expensive enough to racing even if we did get discounts on the tickets.

    Cirrus des Aigles and night of thunder will have their ground and look a good double.

    Gordon Lord Byron is the bet of the day. He's much better on softer ground.

    Wouldn't bank on it, Euro; there's talk of pulling him if the ground gets too bad.

    Now Maarek is one serious horse when it's fetlock deep.
