good luck .🍀

all in  🤪

nothing could possibly go wrong between now and final field n0?

just sayin .

He’ll probably be paying $1.50 on Thursday after Aiden scratches the 3 stablemates. 
 

No pacemaker required here as he’ll be the pacemaker.

Cee Tee, sounds like Frankel all over again. I hope so anyway. 
I’ll never forget watching Frankel do what he did.
I guess that I’ll have to get up in the middle of the night and do it all over again. 
Good Luck Cee Tee

Still 4/6 or 1.67 up here this evening.

I wouldn't play at that price - there are plenty of examples of good juveniles not cutting it as 3-y-o but yes he was dominant last year. The O'Brien yard has struggled for form in the UK so far but he's not sent over any of his big players. 

He could be the "next big thing" and some think he's going to be, if not the next Frankel, a very good horse but the journey begins on Saturday afternoon (UK). 

Hopefully they'll show the race live on Trackside on early Sunday morning (NZ).

Aidan has scratched the 3 stablemates as expected. 
 

City of Troy drawn barrier 2.

Track rated Good at the moment with the odd shower forecast in the next couple of days.

How are they going to catch him when Ryan takes him straight to the lead from the barrier? They won’t. Enjoy 😎

So long as he doesn’t ride him like he rode Storm Boy in the Slipper.

Yes he missed the jump BUT instead of letting him gather himself and then get in to a nice rhythm and save himself for one last run at them, he immediately started hunting him and didn’t really stop. 

I felt that it was a very poor exhibition of jockeymanship.

I had the onlly on pace runner on paper  with a good draw for a 7k return from a $20 outlay on a day where you were handy or nowhere...'missed the kick' sat last and somehow got 2nd...Good luck

8/13 or is that 1.625 up here now. If "the lads" lump on tomorrow, he could easily go 1/2 or even 2/5.

ROSALLION is now 6s and nothing much is being supported against the favourite. It looks the proverbial one horse book.

Or so Cee Tee thinks.

For him and racing I hope so, as I love unbeaten horses winning them one after the other in the best races.

Incidentally if you go to Troy now, there is now nothing there.

Don't waste your time.

I would show you a photo, but there's nothing to show. LOL

He was awful, dreadful. I do wonder why they don’t give them a prep run before tackling a stiff mile at Newmarket. At least then we mightn’t have all got sucked into the hype.

60% better return than Bitcoin, no?

No deduction when the scardy cats run away, no? 

Just take him to the front Mr Moore and he’ll do the rest 😎

I reckon you should stick to posting the pictures after the race, you seem to have more success that way!

I love all of these different racecourse layouts in England.

Newmarket today - straight mile, not a full circuit

Epsom - horseshoe type track, again not a full circuit

Royal Ascot - a bit of both

Totally agree - love the variety.

I think Cheltenham is probably my favourite UK track. Just a beautifully laid out racecourse.
