OK, so there are apparently 12 more.

I was ahead of you on that one.

Now I have to go check out the color of the sky. Back in a minute. I'm a little worried that godolphin bought it....and retired it.

I'm confident that you'll recover...

Its a great shame in both cases.

I think Alexandrova simply raced a bit lazily dropped back to 10f in the l'Opera last time, and I'm sure Fallon wont be overly happily with the ride he gave her. Call it rustiness, call it what you like. I'm pleased that they're seemingly giveing her the chance to race at 4, as I'd love to see her reconfirm my view that she is seriously good by repeating the style of those 3 Oaks wins.

Dylan Thomas has still put up the best middle-distance performance by a three-year-old on turf this season (Irish Derby). All we've really learnt of him from the Belmont run is that he doesn't act on dirt. I'm sure he will prove best over a mile and a half, and next year's Arc should be his target.
