it's like when azeri was winning, so many enjoyed it, and wanted more, more. then she lost. oh, they should have quit while they were ahead, she's done enough, don't run her more...fickle fans.

I hope you're not suggesting i am one of those fickle fans.

I wanted this horse to run, just not in the Classic. Anywhere but the Classic. Nothing to do with the injury, but i wanted to see him in a race he actually had a chance in. The Champion Stakes at Newmarket for his for the taking the weekend before, why oh why choose the f'ing classic?

Eagle Mountain was beaten a head in the Champion Stakes, he George was 10 lengths better than he is!

I'm annoyed because the Classic shouldn't have been even a possible for the horse. Especially a classic on a dreadful track. No one over here thought he had a chance after the rain. He was being driven hard by Mick Kinane after three furlongs, and if you have seen any of his races before, you will know that is not him AT ALL. He is usually pulling his riders arms out in the early stages of ANY race.

There are awful similarities between this and Horatio in the Epsom Derby, doubts at the start and then it happens.

I have to agree with Rollo here.

As i write this i see yet another brake down on the track
