Red Rum 1,833 Report post Posted August 18, 2018 She a champ alright. First Seal got a great record of finishing in front of Winx first 6 times they met , one trial. Winx a different horse now though. Invictus Prince went huge race , bred by the Queen raced for her as Mainstream in UK. I really fancied Kementari to beat her today but she breezed by him.

Red Rum 1,833 Report post Posted August 18, 2018 Has anyone got an idea of a horse than can beat her in the Plate ? . Benbatl is a better horse that Folkswood who placed last year , he can run from the front and did it in a German group 1 two weeks back with success. It would have to be he gets good run on a good day and she needs a bad trip on an off day , a Longshot. Any other ideas ?

Rated 123 in international rankings but Folkswood is only an also ran up north rated 113.I see some quoted , like Poets Voice 2nd best rated in world .I cannot see him coming out as at that level it's the Arc that matters up north. Iam keen to see how close Benbatl gets to Poets Voice and Cracksman if they all meet Wednesday as potentially he is the highest rated international ever to head down.

Basil brush 188 Report post Posted August 19, 2018 As an aside I noticed Unforgotten doing her best work at the finish.She's in for a good season I reckon. Trump 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohokaman 5,759 Report post Posted August 19, 2018 Think you might be right there Basil, as will Libran who came home second fastest 600/400 in the race. Watched the race again and Winx was just incredible. Ran her last 600m in 32.33 and last 400m in 21.27... When she is running those times, the others need a fair start to beat her......
