Although I didn't include him in my contest picks I'd love to see Red Rock Canyon win today. His breeding is incredible! Hasn't lived up to it yet but I hope he'll make the first step towards doing so today.

I see that both Drawnfromthepast and Kingsgate Native are out of the Norfolk. Would have been nice to see one or both of them back up after the Windsor Castle, but I guess 2 days is just too soon after what was a very tough race on the first day.

yeah, the 5 that ran on Tuesday are NRs.. Kingsgate was very impressive for a debutant and is one to keep an eye on throughout the season..

regarding today, Mark Johnston has had a quiet festival so far but has alot of fancied horses..

Winker Watson
Art Advisor
Spirit Of Sharjah

Really impressive performance by Winker Watson, made a spectacular move up to the lead before hanging badly and being headed, but then straightened and kicked away again to win clearly.

Silkwood
All My Loving
Dalvina

It was a slow pace set by Majounes Song, and when the field turned for home most of the field was left flat footed by the sudden increase in speed. But not Silkwood. She quickly reached top gear, ran down the tiring leader and ran away for a 5 length win.

All My Loving and Dalvina took an age to accelerate, did eventually run on but from about 2 furlongs out they were running for second place. Baroness Richter produced an eye-catching finish from nowhere for fourth.

Thanks for the visual! I really like All My Loving but figured she was beatable... just didn't know who would do it.

Philip Robinson just said that he thinks Silkwood would have won the Oaks if she had run in it. Looks like an exciting filly.

Gold Cup up next!
