No obviously that would take ages but your comms are awesome mate.

word or two on my horses:
Illegal Immigration won nicely off a handy weight but will find it tough to follow up.
Rockin Robin ran a cracker in the Lexington - i was really confident he would win before the race and he just found one too good again.
Queen Victoria and Rock of Gibraltar both won so well i couldnt believe my eyes. That was what R.O.G would of done with a run in the UAE Derby, but never mind this victory made up for it!!Preakness the target.
One More Hit - really been outpaced over 6f since winning over the distance in week1 - think she needs the pace to be lightning quick . will step up to 7f asap.
Your Song and Salters Road both pleasing runs.
Speciosa could never beat Kennys horse carrying an extra 4lbs so ran a nice race in 2nd. Pidgy Toss also pleased me with 3rd in the Santa Anita Oaks. Glor Na Mara seems to be the weakest out of the 9f horses I have but will keep on plugging away for a victory.

Pleased with my runners this week apart from vintage crop shows alot more on the gallops at home and often beats Rumble in the Jungle
Danger Moon- Heart in mouth with this one, made up alot of ground on Scatters horse.... seems to have a decent turn of foot will head to the derby if passing a few gallop tests against Big Steak
Rumble In The Jungle- decent run to another scatters horse... just found 1m1f beyond her after hitting the front at the mile pole... no mile race for her next week so will be 1m 1f race
Big Steak- Pleased me with a win first time out over a mile which is the bare min for him... often beats Danger Moon over 1m1f- 1m2f so watch out for him later in the season
Stares- Droped back in trip and was down in class for a decent win

R1 2nd Machine Head
My runner had every chance and could not resist the power of Koyakut. Well done to the winner.
R2 2nd Gaze Of The Eagle
Once again my runner had an easy time in front and it was very close but Danger Moon is just too good. Feel sorry for Sarafina, has not missed out on a place but just gets beaten by one better on the day.
R3 1st Juanita Future
Wow, I thought I was done when Rumble In The Jungle loomed up to overtake my horse but she stuck to her guns and kept fighting to win. Still shaking my head.
R5 1st Danleigh
Happy with this horses form over 8f and believe it or not she is just as good over 7f.
R9 8th Ubetido
Will be retired.
R10 2nd St Sparkle
I thought this horse was a moral but it missed the start again to cost it the race giving the leaders 2 to 3 lengths. I’m a bit puzzled because this horse is a consistent starter in the CK. I just raced it 24 times with only 1 bad start, yet it has raced in the league 4 times with 2 bad starts!! I guess It must get nervous on race day lol.
R13 2nd Maldivian
Didn’t think I was going to get second but very happy with the run considering its best distance is 2000m. Full credit to the winner Rock Of Gibraltar, just too strong.
R13 1st Classy Princess
Very confident this week and will be very confident next week over 2400m too. Earthquake put in a mighty effort to head my horse but faded the last little bit and 2nd place getter Rockin Robin ran a bottler but was caught quite wide around the turn.

also a quick mention to Queen Victoria - forgot to say she broke track record in her race which was nice.
2-2 with St Sparkle, look forward to match 5 John!!

hahha id love to win the Breeders Cup Filly and Mare Sprint with her Matt!!
The way the races have gone, she wins if St Sparkle misses the break but if she nails the start The Queen just fails to reel her in at the end. No race for her next week mind as the 7f G1hcap is for 4yo and up
