could be a nice field but those form figures look way off!!!

I was just about to say the same thing.

They seem to be lacking the form of this season, and as most of them have already run, that's quite a bit of form missed off.

I cant wait to see what Haradasun can do on his euro debut, fast ground should suit, but APOB may have left something to work on. The one thing in his favour is that O'Brien took him out of a G3 last week as he had worked so well the day before and decided to shoot for this race..

Blue Boy out,....

Ummm, what are the odds on Al Qasi?

Where was it said he pulled him out of the Gr3 because he had worked so well? If that became public knowledge, Aidan could get into a lot of trouble (well, a lerge enough fine, at least). Personally, I just think he is the nearly horse, his strike rate is nothing more than terrible. I know he has run at the highest level, but with so many '2's next to his name, you have to wonder.

The Lockinge is another of these races that usually go by the stats. Some of these have never won at a mile, never mind won a Gr race at a mile, and that is usually needed in this race. Course form is also a bonus.

Fillie have had quite a good record in this in recent years, and with all the other stats, I'm going for Majestic Roi at a big price, with the stable seemingly in top form now (started very slowly this year). Channon was very unlucky not to have saddled a classic winner, his horses are in very good heart now.

I will having a decent e/w bet on her.

Is Rob Roy the same horse that ran in the 2006 BC mile?

That's him.

Oooh, he's got Ryan up. :)

Final field...

Al Qasi in a shocker. :eek: :cool:

Good luck to Tariq too.

I know, I know... I'm insane.:D

Creach wins, PT 2nd and Tariq 3rd.

Anyone actually see the race? Full order of finish?

Thanks.

Really disappointed with Majestic Roi, surely that wasn't her running. Ahh well, win some, lose some.

I suppose the question we have to ask ourseelves now is how goos is Good Ba Ba?

I'm not sure if this was the greatest Lockinge, but it wasn't a bad renewal by any means.

I've got Creachadoir in my Godolphin seven stars, so the result wasn't all bad.

Just watched the race for the first time on Youtube. Majestic Roi was travelling like the winner and then went backwards very quickly. I will be treating the form very carefully because there were a couple of hard luck stories and with many of the respected horses being held up of a very steady pace, I can see the form being completely turned around as the season goes on.
