You Leave Kenny Alone...he's gotta have that Royal Ascot Chicken!

No, but the joy of having the dam's offspring potentially win at the same meet was too much to pass up.

Trying too hard for a fairy tale by breeding Lady Aurelia to their own stallion; if they had bred her to Kingman or No Nay Never they might have got a horse destined for Ascot greatness.

Nevertheless, there's still hope.

They can always transfer the horse to McPeek. Based on his Norfolk form I would presume McPeek thinks he's good to go for next year's St. James' Palace...

How the hell did I miss this...

McPeek left Classic Causeway in England & the horse ran back today in a Group 2 going a mile.

There was some grumbling last time about why Leparoux didn't utilize the horse's front running speed at Royal Ascot, instead sitting an unpressured second for half the race before meekly falling away.

Not to worry this time. The mission was clear: Go to the front & run them off their feet.

One problem...Godolphin had 2 in there including an obvious pacemaker.

What ensued was even more embarrassing then what took place at Royal Ascot; in fact it looked a bit dangerous like if a 4'5" granny with Coke-bottle glasses, a beehive hairdo, somehow managed to get her 1988 Ford Festiva onto the fast lane of the Autobahn...

I thought the same; or at least I should have used it as some sort of joke.

For example:

He should have won the Best Ought to Be Turned Out (to a farm) Award.

The silver lining in this utter humiliation is that based on the display of raw speed, McPeek might cut the horse back to a sprint at some point.

Whether that would be the Vosburgh in NY or the Nunthorpe in England remains to be seen...
