They are both useless. I'd like to see a race between them. They would start on a saturday, and finish on Monday. Seriously though, over the last few weeks, my friend has been riding Jalil and the only words he has come up with are "pig" and "useless".

I'm not a fan of Godolphin or Darley (as is obvious) but their marketing is amazing. Simple, but brilliant. Not sure if you have seen the new adverts and caps for Manduro? "SuperMAN! Manduro, he's the best in the world"

![]() Will Jalil improve for being switched to Poly for the first time? There is a possibility given his pedigree.
Will be watching this race tomorrow with interest.

![]() Jalil only second........ not a great hanicap. I think we can safely say he's only moderate at best.
They bought a Mr Greeley last year for about 5 million, who i have been informed is also tripe. Both coolmore and Godolphin will be treading carefully in future i imagine...... no HUGE buys from now on, i doubt.

![]() From the Telegraph.....
Ibn Khaldun to rise to challenge By HOTSPUR (J A McGrath) Look both ways before crossing the road today, and watch out for a royal blue juggernaut heading towards Ascot. Godolphin, pressing ahead with a swag of winners across the country yesterday, are set to strike again with Ibn Khaldun in the Deloitte Autumn Stakes. Calming Infuence spearheaded the yard's York treble with an effortless maiden win (prompting 33-1 quotes for the 2,000 Guineas and Derby), while their other winners on Knavesmire were Fairmile and Amarna. Over at Lingfield Park, they won with another impressive debutant, Storm Force, but later Jalil, their famous $9.7m yearling purchase, was just touched off in the dying strides of a handicap by the strong-finishing Troubadour. advertisementWhile the Godolphin ranks have lacked a top class three-year-old this year, the talent uncovered in the juvenile ranks has been most encouraging – the Dewhurst remains under "strong consideration" for Rio De La Plata – and Ibn Khaldun, a winner of two of his three outings, can complete his hat-trick at Ascot today. Ibn Khaldun is out of the classy mare Gossamer, winner of the Irish 1,000 Guineas and a lover of soft ground. Despite showing potential at home, the colt was in need of the run first time out and found himself comfortably held in fourth by Ancien Regime in a six-furlong maiden at Yarmouth. But since that day, Ibn Khaldun has started to blossom. After winning a Leicester maiden and a nursery (hacking up) at Ascot, he is now well-equipped to handle the step-up to Group Three company this time. Meeriss, too, has been progressing, adding a Listed win at Goodwood to an earlier maiden victory on the all-weather at Lingfield. He could prove the danger although Naomh Geileis is tough and worthy of respect. Great excitement in the bloodstock world was sparked yesterday when a Sadler's Wells filly, out of the Irish River mare Brigid, created a world record price for a yearling filly sold at public auction when knocked down for 2,500,000 guineas to Craig Bennett at Tattersalls October Yearling Sale, in Newmarket. The sister to Listen, the winner of Ascot's Fillies Mile, is to join Luca Cumani, who also trains Bennett's Caulfield-Melbourne Cups contender Purple Moon. www.telegraph.co.uk/hotspur |
