Cowell was in a state of disbelief as Prohibit returned to the winner's enclosure. "I can't believe that's just happened - has it happened?" he said.

"I'm overwhelmed. I've got sunglasses on, so you won't notice I'm crying. I've had a bit of flak for running him too much, but he thrives on his racing. He's a game horse and I'm chuffed to bits. It's the best day of my racing life - it's awesome."
That's great.

Whoa, that was close. Frankel stays undefeated, but only just.

I don't understand making a middle move into the speed horse.... he had a right to be exhausted down the lane, and he was.

I love the Coventry - so many good horses have won it - including Canford Cliffs 2 years ago.

anything could win this but B Fifty Two is a standout for me - I think he'll go close!

Can you explain why they have all these huge races during the work week brock? Does anyone work in Europe or is it just a break from the latest soccer riot and debt crisis?

Yeah, it's an awesome list of winners:

Henrythenavigator in 2007 of course, and the great Mill Reef back in 1970.
