I was very, very keen on Pipedreamer. He stopped like he had been shot though. Perhaps he does need a return to a mile. The yard were very confident today, and to see him run like that will have many people scartching their heads in Newmarket tonight.

Haven't seen the race yet but he should defo be tried over a mile. The owners do have Virtual but they are known to race their own.

Yes, I'm pretty sure he's running. Michael Stoute is also considering a pacemaker to help him.

Can't see past Sea The Stars and Archipenko to be honest. This will ulimately be the acid test for Sea The Stars. Is he as goos as we all think? Can he do it against the older horses? Or are the three year old crop not anything special?

Hoping for the first...betting on the latter.

Agree on Sea the Stars, Archi is out.

"Archipenko has a swollen fetlock joint and we’ve really had no option. This is even more aggravating because his preparation for the Eclipse has been great. He was doing excellent work and would have had a winning chance." - MdK

Sea the Stars / Cima de Triomphe / Conduit or Rip

That's certainly made Sea The Stars' job much more easy (if a Gr1 race can be easy). The likes of Conduit are beatable and have question marks, but a horse like Archipenko had nothing to prove and we all knew he is very good. Conduit still has to prove he's out of the top drawer in my opinion. I know he won the BC turf, but to me he's a stayer, not a ten furlong horse. I think Sea The Stars (Gr1 winner over a mile) will have too much toe for him, and on fast ground (it's been baking hot here all week), that is something else that is very much in Sea The Stars' favour.

should be some race. Ive layed Sea The Stars as I thought he was way too short. He should win, but hes not the certainty many people think. I think Conduit will run him really really close.. Cima will round out the top 3
