From Jessica Lamb, Wesley Ward, trainer of American raider Cannonball, has always been bullish about his steeds chances and could say only this: "I didn't bring him over for the weather! The ground is plenty quick but he's the oneto beat."

For a 33 to 1 shot i thought his talk was a little bold for the horse he had & the horses in the field ;-)

After seeing how dashing you looked on Derby day, I am sure they are all white tails.

That was an awesome race. A shame that one of them had to lose.

Impressive speed there from Strike The Tiger for the USA. Nice win, and the stablemates will have to be respected later in the week.

I hope some of you had some cash on Canford Cliffs. A stunning performance.

I'm not sure if he will be a guineas horse though, could be a seriously good sprinter.

If you head over to Ireland, I set the over/under on number of times you hear the word " wanker " at 37 1/2.

I thought 'wanker' was just an English term??

I guess we all can't be as cool or fit in like you can...

Good lord. Scenic Blast swallowed the field up in four or five strides.

Nice efforts by the second and third horses, but he was a class above them.
