The QE II

[my miss storm cat]

So who do you like here?

I do like Bushman so much (well Rip too) and i think he'll improve but I'll take Hearts of Fire to win...

Makfi has taken a some very notable scalps this season - Canford Cliffs, Goldikova, Dick Turpin, Paco Boy,... BUT he ran an absolute stinker on this course in the St. James Palace S. He's getting the 3yo weight-break, so that's to the good. If he doesn't like Ascot, there are several who could do it, Rip included.

So it is established - Makfi HATES Ascot with a passion.

Rip's a good horse, just not a world-beater.

It's Dubawi's year and we're just living in it.

I'm not willing to say Makfi hates Ascot quite yet. He had an excuse when running there poorly last time and yet again, he didn't seem 'right' yesterday, wanting to hang when the pressure was put on him to go forward. On form he had every right to toy with that field.

Slightly disappointing that what probably is just a genuine Gr2 horse in Poets Voice won the QEII.

On this showing you'd have to say that Canford Cliffs would have won as he pleased.

I finally saw the replay and all I could think was nice enough race but interchangable horsies.

Don't know if Canford Cliffs would have won.

If we're going to what if my choice would have been Rio.

As far as being impressed today, White Moonstone did it for me.

Oh and I am soooo happy Colonial won! Just a listed race, but still.
