Rio de la Plata is entered.....

This race could all turn out to be business rather than racing in the end. Sheikh Mohammed now owns 50% of New Approach, so in an ideal world he wouldn't want New Approach and Rio De La Plata to meet at this early stage.

Plus, i also think New Approach would make mincemeat of most of these, and i'm not being biased with that opinion.

There is a reason why both NA and RDLP have other options for their next races. That reason is that i would think it would be very unlikely they would run against eachother as 2yos.

However, i hope they do face eachother in this race.

Looks a potentially brilliant race. One of my friends reckons that Famous Name is the best juvenile in the country after his impressive maiden win so it will be interesting to see if he can cope the rise in class if he goes here..
