 Re: Flat : Talk Reaction Banter
Just the 2 runners for me.
Night Dragon 2nd. Great performance from my juvenile miler over 6f. Going to be a force through the season.
Aurora - was expecting big things but looks like she is going to be a dud. Badly outpaced again.
Well done to James Follis for winning the Craven. Great to see some new faces winning group races.

 Re: Flat : Talk Reaction Banter
just the 3 runners for me today.
R11 Wild Blue Yonder (4th) - Ran well for a long way in the Lincoln until Weakening close home. I was surprised to finish 4th tbh as it looked like Sirius horse had just got up. R13 Madness (12th) - I must have been mad uploading this donkey. 2 runs, 2 terrible efforts. Only hope for him now is a really poor h'cap! R19 Grand Canyon (10th) - Better at 6f in trials and I was hoping for a top 6 finish. A little disappointed with the run, could be he's going to be better over 5f in the league. Then again, this did look like a pretty hot maiden.
Well done all winners and placers.

 Re: Flat : Talk Reaction Banter
It's a good job I don't have any runners because the 2000 Guineas would be all mine judged on what I've seen thus far.

There could easily be a few group 1's run slowly this season, which evens out the chances

 Re: Flat : Talk Reaction Banter
That's exactly what my horse does Leon but he also stays all day long even with a good pace. With a slow pace he boots on 3f out and keeps on rolling!

 Re: Flat : Talk Reaction Banter
I think Jamie should be allowed to enter at the transfer window.
Good to see lots of different or new trainers winning in Dubai, though I'd be surprised if the form holds up in some races.

Did you export your horses with challenge earlier. I have done that since last season and I haven't had any of mine pull this season. So seems to have worked
