Amazing performance. She's been a really good horse - that was her 14th win - but this was by far the best field she's faced, and she was way too good for them. Best performance of her career.
And yeah, emotional scenes afterwards. I'm so glad they won.
Some nice runs in behind - Ms O'Reilly was particularly good, and so were Brave Centaur and Soriano.
I'm not disappointed in Veyron, Viadana or Costume. There was a bit of a track bias and it was hard to win from where they were. Plus the race was a bit too short for all of them. They'll do better next time.
I'd recommend looking at races eight and nine as well. Spectacular performances by some possible rising stars.
Great day of racing! And it's only going to get better from here.
