Goldikova v Paco Boy v Rip Van Winkle
 

deserves a thread on its own.

Queen Anne Stakes - Tuesday 15th June.

Can there ever be a better race to start a race meeting? I'll certainly be there in plenty of time. Which one are you rooting for?

I have to admit I'm a big Paco Boy fan and hope he does it.

Rip to beat the both of them.

She's the champ.

Go Goldikova!!!:)


Take pictures please!!!

Will do - I think it'll be more of a watching than betting race..

wow.

Just a brilliant field - I have gone and contradicted myself by not only having a big bet in the race but by putting the lot on the supermare - lets hope she does the business!!

Yeah I wouldn't normally bet on a race like this, but I thought boxing the big three up in a trifecta looked like a good idea. That's not to say there aren't other good horses in this race, but if those three run up to their best form, they should be filling those top three placings.

But I think I saw a headline on Racing Post questioning Rip's fitness?

Does Ascot have a live video feed?

GOLDIKOVA! :eek: :D

What a great battle between her and Paco Boy in the last furlong. She's just so tough. Wouldn't let him past.

Goldikova!!! 2/5ths off the track record...

Yay! :tro:

Glad she won!

Awesome race from Goldikova.

NT

It was different to what we're used to seeing from her. I think maybe the jockey went a bit too soon. She hit the lead a long way out. But she dug deep. Great win.

I missed it :(

good job brock!
too early here for me
hope you got paid at least 9/5

Thrilled she won of course.

Is Pipedreamer okay? Anyone have an update?

Deauville, Sunday...

Goldikova / Music Show (a name that everyone will know soon enough) and the rest might as well stay home. :D
