That was an impressive performance, was sure Tartan Bearer had the race under control 2 furlongs out but New Approach stayed on strongly.

quality from NA, just such a brilliant horse and he is defo a derby winner that you could say would have no trouble dropping back to 10f and being superb.

I dont often give Manning credit, but he gave him a cracker of a ride. he was brave and could easily have gotten in trouble (well he did still barge Frankie) but everything worked out..

New Approach still 4 pounds inferior to Authroized at this stage in their careers? Give me a break!!

For fans of Extras
"Are you having a laugh? Is he having a laugh?"

EDIT - trying to find article but think its RPR of 126 for NA and 130 for Auth whereas on official ratings, its 126 for both..
