Good point about Narrjoo.....

The ones i'm intrigued by are Mubaashire, Dubai's Touch and Dubai Magic....

I enjoy reading your stuff Miss Storm Cat. I just assumed you were in Europe. Isn't it around 4am over there?

Give me the news on the horse the Jacksons sold, George Washington. I heard he had a minor injury.

Thanks.

Thank you, that's very sweet and no, I'm in Southern California.

Here's the most recent news I can find on George, although he's still listed in the noms for the Sussex Stakes at Goodwood (Aug. 2nd). Fingers crossed.

This is from Racing Post, June 29th.....

George Washington may not race again

The Coolmore Danehill colt George Washington may not race again after the injury he sustained in the Irish 2000 Guineas may keep him from racing for some time.

Trainer Aidian O’Brien revealed that while George Washington was back in light exercise it might be “months rather than weeks” before the colt returned to racing.

George Washington, who won the English 2000 Guineas in brilliant fashion, suffered a muscle injury above the hip after the Irish 2000 Guineas was run on very heavy ground at The Curragh.

With George Washington having serious potential value at stud it would not be a surprise if Coolmore did not risk the colt back on the track again and sent him directly to stud in 2006/7.

That sucks about George Washington. He's a monster. His Guineas was breathtaking. I was really hoping he was coming back soon and that we might see him in the BC.

Too bad.

Ill take Ashdown (flying home last time) and the 500pound horse!

July Stakes results...

Strategic Prince
Armigerent
Dubai's Touch

If they retire George Washington over a muscle injury I will be very unhappy. I was hoping he would come to the BC at Churchill this fall. I heard he is a headcase.

I was all set to toss Quito but if you like him i need to go see his replays.

Don't think much of Excusez Moi and Murfreesboro and unsure about Pivotal Point, Les Arcs (two in a row? I'll pass) , Marcus Andronicus and Fayr Jag.

Gift horse has been disappointing...

Balthazaar's Gift, Amadeus Wolf and Moss Vale look good. I think it comes down to Iffraaj (applause ), Takeover Target, Red Clubs, La Cucaracha (she looks awfully good to be honest) and Ashdown. Wonder which Falkirk will show up...

Iffraaj / La Cucaracha / TT (???)

(Now watch, Excusez Moi wins...)
