Irish Derby

[NoChanceToDance]

Fame And Glory is definitley a thorough stayer and they made sure it was made a thorough test today. So far I haven't seen anything that will be able to beat him in the Leger.

I'm still not convinced he's what you'd call a top class horse. I know he's won well today, but I don't rate Golden Sword as a genuine group one horse and, like you said Mourayan just looks slow, he could make up into a decent cup horse in time, though.

Gan Amhras again disappointed and I think we can now say he doesn't see out the twelve furlongs. He is another one that will have much more success over ten furlongs, but with the likes of Sea The Stars and Rip Van Winkle also likely to prove that being their best trip, he's not going to find things easy. It's hard to fault his guineas run, however and he remains a high class colt.

Talking about stayers, who will be the O'Brien team for the Melbourne Cup this year? Will you be going, Brock? Let me know if you are.
