Wonder what Frankel thinks, and if that was the horse being rank or Johnny V misreading the horse??





yes , but no it wasn't worth any . Albertus Maximus was bet much more than his cumulative form would suggest he was worth, and Fan-Fav Tiago runs 2nd. Smart money knew to bet his last race and some dumb money probably followed Gomez as well. Pretty good trips for AM and Tiago because the track was playing bigtime to the wide finish in the lane.


Was the Classic winner in the Goodwood?
No.
If the track plays the same, the classic winner should be a quality turf horse with late kick. If none such horse enters, Go Between has as much as chance as any by default.

Well Armed has a shot at top 5 in the classic if things go smoothly.
