Was there yesterday as I'm now working nights on foaling. I wasn't all that impressed with the Craven to be honest, neither before or after the contest. Raven's Pass just didn't get home from the way I saw it, which surprised me slightly but it seems I was the only one to be surprised.
Couldn't have Twice Over as a classic winner. He's a nice horse, but can't see him winning a classic. Just something about him, which doesn't scream class.
Very impressed with Phoenix Tower, a horse who I like a lot but discounted him yesterday, thinking he'd need the run in a step up in company. He flew up the hill.
One thing I will say is that Zulu Chief is one hell of a looker. Wasn't off a yard yesterday, but don't disregard him for some good races later this year. A very well put together, athletic colt.
