I don't understand your comment berri

Was there on the day. I agree with the above. Everyone is an expert of course, and noting Tony is astute and gave connections a grand run through to the derby, and noting my comments are in hindsight .... however I think he should have bypassed the full Guineas prep and keep his legs with the sprint needed to win the derby. One run too many is my hindsight view as it looked more like a Melb cup run...and slightly dour. if I could train I wouldn't be working for a living

Blowing out in auzzie, $3.10

Oxymoron is a figure of speech in which two opposite ideas are joined to create an effect

Given champions are the Extream exception ....Actually asking for a model to predict the variance is an oximoron.

Very interesting observations

Disclosure - I want one (pour moi)

Great win bring on the derby now

Nz$12.4m id say sell at no risk c.f. Standing him

SE Caught wide, fought on, no disgrace

I've got 2:40 plc and tab offering 1.85.... go figure, not to mention the one off matching bet....

Cape blanco will be average

Thanks for that, I've just joined centerbet / William hill and even at $2:25 a place they match your first bet to effectively turn that into $4:50 a plc.... who could ask for more. TAB you are idiots.

From memory a heavier horse likely to throw three yeR olds more than 2yeR olds I agree a risk at the moment and hard for breeders to feel he's a must breed to before he gets away on us... Be be happy to buy a good type for not too much

Obviously a Guineas horse as well, all class.

If say dream ahead will go ok, just won't be fashion initially because of his more vailed pedigree. But actually when you strip it back (nearco, etc) it's all worked well down here. I do love the horse.

I saw dream ahead win the July cup as a three year old, lovely type with a more difficult prdigree to understand over head. Sensational type on the day of the July cup, absolute standout.

Eg Some of those Irish 2000 Guineas can be very soft.

Not much new in there nas but agree with your premise. The more I breed the more I focus on stallion proven ness and type... Cant really do a pedigree that has been a cross flop thou do you think buyers are getting the 20:20 type reports for sales or buying on type and temperament !

I guess the answer to will Saracino will measure up is yes, and we'll see the horse in even better races going forward...

Need competition

I think you analysis is right on

Pegasus then stewards the way to go.

Yes, not many trainers I know would race over 1400m on the sat to then go 1200m in the stewards handicap sprint on the Wednesday
