It would be amazing if he comes but they throw out a bone every year.

He's arc bound surely.

Sea Of Class and Lah Ti Dar showed they're most likely the best pair of fillies in Europe in consecutive races at York last night. They may clash in Paris next start but the latter may also need another run before stepping up to Gr1 company after a long mid season layoff.

That may be the case over 12 furlongs (2400m) but Alpha Centurai is possibly the best over a mile.

I've been told that the bottles mentioned at the end of the video are to keep the gypsies from stealing Prescott's prize game cocks.

Dewhurst awaits. A good replacement for the injured Calyx.  Gosden holds all the aces.

A note has already be in made in the Melb. Cup thread but I'm putting this into here because according to media reports Goldolphin's interests for Best Solution is the G1 Caulfield Cup.

Anyway the horse looks like a battler winning Germany's top race the G1 Grosser Preis Von Baden at Baden-Baden.

For those interested

I think the CC is probably more his go. I liked his win from a few weeks ago in the Grosser Preis Berlin, small field but had to made up a bit of ground and get surge between runners late.

Syrtis by Frankel is out of a half sister to the Darren Weir trained Raw Impulse.

Harry Angel jumped ok tonight in the Gr1 Sprint Cup at Haydock but was way too fresh and keen before fading out of the placings at the finish. The Tin Man finally got his nose in front after being third and second in the two previous runnings of the race. A well deserved win under Oisin Murphy

Saxon Warrior and Alpha Centauri both retired after finishing second on Saturday at Leopardstown.

A pity.... Was hoping to see Alpha Centauri in the Breeder's Cup Mile. Not so.

Fashion's Star an interesting first start winner at Newbury tonight. She's by Sea The Stars out of a half sister to Pakistan Star. Bred by owner of Sea The Stars Christopher Tsui. Made 100K at Goffs September sale as a yearling then 400K in France at Arqana ready to race sale in May. A nice earn for Brendan Holland and Grove Stud.

A German raced dam, so interest for Ticino there. 


An interesting addition to the Euro training ranks is Gavin Hernon -

Cracksman just won the Champion Stakes very easily. It was his most impressive performance of the season.

Earlier Roaring Lion successfully dropped back to the mile to narrowly win the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. Other Gp1 winners were Sands Of Mali (defeating Harry Angel) in the British Champions Sprint Stakes & Magical in the British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes. Stradivarius won the Gp2 British Champions Long Distance Cup despite racing erratically.

Good to see Roaring Lion win.

As for Cracksman.....awesome win. Anyone know about the strength of oppoaition he beat?
Australian racing is only good up to 1400m in terms of world standards when it comes to depth/quality in numbers

The best 2 in the race outside Cracksman where in races 400 to 800 short of their best.

the 3rd horse beaten 6.75 lengths has won 3/27 and would not get a run in a Cox Plate. Crystal Ocean was held up at a crucial stage and needs more ground.
