Gleneagles has some turn of foot but soon as he hits the front he seems to freeze up
should have been Galileo's 2nd Juvenile multiple G1 Winner Today
Certainly high up in the pecking order for next years mile division at Ballydoyle
but doubt he is in the top 5 2yo over all Think Highland Reel The Major Guineas hope

Molly Morgan to beat the 1/9 shot Close Hatches in the Spinster

Watching the Gleneagles race again, Joseph should have pulled the whip through to his right to give the horse a chance to stay straight. He's been over there plenty of times to know the how strict the French judges are. He only had to watch the Cirrus DA race from the day before.

Agree with that

but the interference was so minimal i don't think Criquette Head could even believe the result
I Thought she was so classy after the race and said it how it was and as she said best horse on day won but her
horse has major improvement to come Full Mast looked a bit one paced think he needed a mile could be a
star next season do you not think the Prix Du Jockey Club will be right up his street next year Matt
have not looked at his pedigree though but looked like he needs further than 7 already

Haha. I was taking the P.

Yes proper racing starts this week, the start of the jumps. If u are as old as me then the first week in October is Chepstow and was always the first jumps meeting on the BBC, with the big race of the day was the Mercedes Benz Chase. I miss those good old days.

Why not ride the horse positively? The horse will either stay or it won't. Better to be near the front than at the back if the chances of it staying on at the end are unknown.



KH ran well, possibility for the top 1m4 races next year. Tagroodah perhaps hasn't improved quite enough since Ascot to overcome the weight change, but still a good run. Unbelievable from Treve, still can't believe it. I still don't think she was below par early in the season, she was beaten narrowly by a very good horse in CDA and the Fugue was a good filly as well.

I completely agree, N Twiston Davies and C Llewellyn were always the men i followed on this day, NTD is still one to follow in the early season, he's cute enough to know most other trainers are a bit behind at this stage.

And seeing what horses nicholls brings out, I always hope we get soft ground so the trainers let some of their better horses out.

YEA proper racing its like Football and Rugby all the money is in one but the real men like the other

How convenient they have retired Australia. They were scared to death of him being beaten again and i could see this happening when they ruled him out of the Arc. It's quite simple really that he was a good horse but not a great one because he never justified the hype and never went on to prove it. Just waiting for the next best horse they have trained nonsense to come out

I have to agree two weeks before another race it is likely he would have been beaten in just seems too convenient to be true

Spot on commentary.



what a waste of a Career. If Australia were as good as AOP said it's a shame we didn't see australia in the very best races. These things ruin the sport.

they breed and invest millions to find a top horse, but if they find one they retire him to stud asap. Whats the point? (I do know that australia might be injured, but it's a shame they didn't run him in the arc at least).)

Unbelievable news! Treve stays in training

I often get to chat to the people behind the scenes at Ballydoyle and Coolmore
And i don't think he was the horse i was told he was.

Undoubtedly a top class racehorse but not the horse of a generation in saying that he was the best middle distance
horse Aidan has trained since High Chaparral in 2002

The injury was genuine 100% i was told on Tuesday War Command had retired to stud & was already at Coolmore
& this story was being held back to be revealed on the morning line Then the vet said that Australia had no chance of
being ready for Ascot so they pulled the plug.

For me missing the Arc was the wrong decision still cant get my head round it

He will be hugely popular at Coolmore with breeders here they are already forming a queue.
