Watched the first two and so I don't forget...

Wow Jimmy! I'm sorry but I thought the race caller was going to have a heart attack!

Beautiful win!

Wall Street!!!!! he was amazing and Keep the Peace was so beautiful (Bruce is pretty) and once again I am just so happy to see Fritzy Boy have a great run!

Is Vosne Romanee okay? Pulled up?

Okay will watch the last one now.

Vosne Romanee was pulled up. The vet couldn't find anything wrong in the early tests, but he's obviously not himself. He's run 3 really bad races in a row now, and getting worse each time. I think the great old boy will probably be retired.

It was such an amazing day, but it started really weirdly. The winner of the first race was 164-1. The next two were 24-1 and 30-1. None of the results were making sense. No favourite finished in the money in the first five races!

But then Jimmy won the Guineas, race 6, and it was so good from there. That was the best I've seen him run. He's trained at that track, so the noise in the crowd was amazing when he hit the line in front. His trainer and jockey were so excited about him after the race. He's 9-1 for the 2000 Guineas now. I haven't seen anyone I think can beat him if he runs like that again.

Altered Image won race 7. He's just coming back after a year off with injury. He won by 2 lengths with his ears pricked in 1:09.15. VERY nice.

Wall Street looked like he was having a workout gallop for most of that race. It was such a good field, but he was doing it so easily all the way. It was obvious to me that he was going to win from halfway down the back. He seems to be getting better every race, and that's a bit scary.

Katie was my highlight, of course. She was disappointing in her first race back, and I wasn't sure she would be as good this season as she was in 2009-10. And she was a bit quiet in the paddock - when she won the two G1 races last November, she was hopping around and being naughty. And she was so far behind at the turn, I just gave up on her. Horses weren't really winning from off the pace that day. But then it all changed in a couple of strides. Apparently she broke 11 seconds for her last furlong. It's like she had a rocket strapped to her butt. I looked around the stands just after she hit the line and everyone was like this - . That was so amazing.
