I think its ridiculous.. He did run quite well though and would love to see him take on the best in Europe at 10f.. and then on to the BC Classic ;-)

Well, if you watched the betting you could have been forgiven to think that Ramonti had lost a leg.
He was steadily supported in the morning (7/2 into 10/3) and he remained steady at that price until about 15 mins before the off and all of a sudden he just drifted for apparently no reason. I snapped up a bit of 5/1 just before the off. Considering i had only backed him at 7/2, i had to have more on at 5/1!!!!
I know, it annoys me about that. They didn't run him at Ascot because they wanted to get him ready for this, and when it comes down to it, he isn't fit enough to do himself justice! They should have run at Ascot, just to get that run into him. The Juddmonte will be tough, but he will beat Authorized standing on his head, Notnowcato might be inconvenienced by fast ground, Duke Of Marmalade is looking exposed. George Washington isn't certain for the race. If they get him there 100%, i think he will win this race....... Sightseek, i think you should come to York for the 21st!!!!
