Respectfully, I hope you're in for a big shock and that Crowded House is back to his best.

Still can't narrow down my 4 but hey... hope this guy wins.

Crowded House won't get within two London Buses of winning the Derby.

I have a feeling we could see a superstar today. I was adament that we had a brilliant set of 2yo last year and its looking like that so far this year..

God, I needed that, great job by Mikey Joe, beating the Ballydoyle contingent who all finished together.. Some horse..

He is an absolute superstar, probably the best horse I've seen.

Gutted about Gan Amhras, he didn't look like he handled the track one bit.

Me too. he was beaten by halfway.. tough to know if he really saw the 12f out.

He was beaten before stamina came into play though. He got a good position early, but dropped back and never looked happy. Quite clearly he hasn't run his race, but it's the risk you take at Epsom.

Sea The Stars is just brilliant, only word to describe him.
