mendip just blew away a rank vale of york..out of harlans holiday..looks like godolphins got a derby horse..

it was a slowly run race, but he looks very exciting..

Vale of York never settled.

yes but with the lack of depth over here he may make the trip no?

yeah they will probably send them both presuming they are in decent form. Id like to see them against Musir first in the UAE Derby before I start proclaiming one as a Derby winner.

whoooooooh hold up i said derby horse..not winner..lol:zz: :eek:

Speaking of Godolphin's Derby horses, Desert Party is racing for the first time since then just now in Meydan!

The iron horses of Dubai. One Time a year.

I heard it is his first race on synth.....or not.

good win. I think he has won on the poly before in Arlington!!

You are correct..According to the P.P's, he broke his maiden on it at Arlington on 6/22/08.

over / unders on Dettori win today he is so far 2-2
next up
Skysurfers favourite
Campanologist 3rd favourite
Cavarlyman favourite
Alexandros favourite

3.5!

It is spelled FAVORITE!!!!:mad:

I was making a joke related to poor reporting that said it was his synth debut. He broke his maiden first out at Arlington.

:)

I should have known an expert like you would have known that!!

:tro:

And PG declared him the following years Derby winner after said race.

I think he meant UAE Derby.

At least he would have been closer.

Bale of Pork was strangled into submission by the Camal kingpin.

His big races in Europe came battling on paces that utterly collapsed with the exception on him. Bringing a fresh horse supposedly short on works back - running 9.5f - and trying to strangle him behind a crawl isn't exactly a recipe for good things.

Good lord, old chap, grow a sense of humour there, would you? There's no reason to get your colour up and start an arguement. That's a good fellow. ;)

I dont think I did, I did like him a little though, I think everyone did.

I would have copped to saying it if I were you.

There's something to be said for predicting a horse would even make it to the starting gate on Derby day off of one race nearly 11 months beforehand.

He was merely just asking a question as it turns out ... post 90.

I don't put too much stock in Mendip's performance. The 1-2 leaving the frontstretch were 1-2 at the finish, and ran the 9.5 furlongs in 1:59 and change...how he performs over a truer race would be in question.
