Given there are 5 horses, one is a pacemaker and another is 100-1, I daresay Famous Name and Campanologist. In that order

This is a really poor field, it will be great to see SYT win a G1 but his up against G3 class horses. It won't really tell us alot for Royal Ascot either unless he wins this by 6+ lengths.

Famous Name will run 2nd and Campanologist 3rd.

I hope he does win by 6L or so, or else does it impressively. Anything else would be a disappointment in my eyes.

I think he will win by 5-8, anything less and he will have his work cut out to win a Group 1 for the rest of the season.

Famous Name is a G3 galloper who would have only won the Moorsbridge by a couple had he been there, he also is better over 1600-1800m, goes OK at 2000m but always finds one too good. Campanologist really needs 2400m and seems a different horse to a year ago.

Based on this SYT should walk in again.

O'Brien's son is on the logical pacemaker on Windsor Palace, after winning a G1 last night on Rpderic O'Connor he should have the confidence to ride a good race at 150s to grab 2nd if Famous Name does not stay and Campanologist finding this too short.

Anbody see the boom sprinter who BC is being compared too last night Overdose?, got towelled in a G3 last night. It's a different story winning outside your home town so I would be just be happy if SYT gets there.

Not only have they shortened his mane and forelock, they have trained his mane to lie on the correct side.

For Overdose the travel was no different than going from Victoria to Brisbane and or Perth.

Hope you guys are watching Skyworld right now.

Tom Magnier says O'Brien expects him to win, its a step up on last start obviously, and there is plenty of improvement in him.

Thought he overraced for the first furlong, so much so that the pacemaker was having trouble actually leading! But after that he settled beautifully. They are going to have to be good to beat him in whatever they race him in!

Great ride from Frankie on Campanolgist. He tried to make a race of it, but his mount was just not up to it.

And yes Wortel it does get a little harder from here on in. Prince Of Wales at Royal Ascot will be a little more interesting.

A BIG thanks to Aiden O'Brien.

This master trainer has elevated SYT to another level without the drugs like in Australia.

Plenty has go to the bin after the Melbourne Cup eg. Shootout, Maluckyday.

I watched it on TVN.
The race being shown in the top left, was more interesting. and I hate hurdle races.

So is this the thrill we get from him now? What a yawn.
Surely they are just going to race him twice, then go to stud?
I bet he is retired now.
He is an entire isnt he?
Is Dato Chin Nana an entire? Confused

11/8 odds, he is retired, sent to stud. They just went there for a few highlight reels, add to the expense of him.

Ps, Frankie Detorri should have just jumped off and run after So You Think himself. Would have had a better chance chasing him down in his little black gumboots.
