Mixed feelings about this race. I'd love to see George back at his brilliant best, but I've been following Red Evie so I also want to see her win it.

Hoping for a good contest whoever wins.

I know what you mean... hoping for George but she's a big threat and gotta respect her here.

Can't wait.

I suppose it all depends on how much George has remembered from the breeding shed. If he finds himself behind her in the race, he might not want to pass

Ummm no disrespect but maybe you should remember how he did in the breeding shed.

I don't know if he'll be all that interested.....

Ha....... i don't think it was lack of enthusiasm that stopped him from being a full time stallion.

Poor boy was shootin' blanks, i think.

I wish i was going, i'd love to see his what he is like pre race. Before the 2,000 Guineas last year he was a real handful. It took about five people just to saddle him.

After he had won, he was following so unplaced horses, so they didn't have to go into the winners enclosure........ He wanted to follow them, and when his handler tried to pull him where he should have been going, George basically looked at him and said "f*** off, i'm going THIS way". He is a very funny boy, but also very good!

Now that i would like to see......

won't happen...... but i'd like to see how Yarmy would get on with him. George isn't a Rakti or Bulldozer.......... but his arrogance leads to his temper.


Do you remember a horse called Bucharest.......ages ago which we spoke about? He dropped his jockey going to the start and he still won? Well, finally today, he got his head in front again
