It's a superb race to start off Ascot as there are so many unexposed horses.. Yeah I saw Luck Money's win and was quite impressed. He's interesting as well as any from Chapple Hyam..
PH is still owned by Mrs Collins but they mentioned straight after his listed win that he was for sale and would listen to offers.. I wouldnt at all be surprised if he's in Haya's colours on Tuesday

Luck Money beat Chapple Hyam's likely runner (can't remember it's name), so i wouldn't worry about that, i think both will improve from that run and i'd still have Luck Money to beat him again.

Well, that is a shame....... he looks an exciting prospect and i find it strange they want to sell him at this early stage.

At the end of the day, whether it Shiekh Mo, Godolphin or Princess Haya..... they are all basically being bought by Darley

exactly, she did buy Dandy Man and kept her with Tracey Collins so that was good of her. It was funny seeing the Sheik at Ascot last year. There was about 30 fellas with him and just one woman. Very odd sight... It made me think that they think the colt is an early season type who might be the finished article quite soon and they are trying to recoup their initial outlay (which was only 8k guineas..)

I suppose Pencil Hill is a fair price actually. What do you think? I'd be happy with 7/1, i think.

Very impressed with that win in the Coventry, apparently he's as low as 7-1 for the 2000 Guineas with some bookmakers at the moment. That race is a long way away of course, but at the moment he looks a class above his opposition.

I notice though that Achilles of Troy was mentioned in the same breath as Henry earlier in the thread...he seems to have fallen from grace since then, his performance in the Windsor Castle was extremely disappointing.

Warsaw was another one mentioned, will be interesting to see how he runs today.
