Nijoom Dubai
You'resothrilling
Baffled

Surprising result to start the day! Nijoom Dubai raced in midfield, hit the lead 2 furlongs out and held strongly. You'resothrilling took a while to get a clear run but had enough time to get past Nijoom Dubai, but the winner fought off the challenge and deserved the win. Those two finished well clear of Baffled who finished just ahead of Aide Memoir.

Post-race analysis has shown that You'resothrilling made a mess of the start and lost a couple of lengths, possibly had an effect on the outcome of the race.

Nothing should be taken away from Nijoom Dubai though, ran much better than the 50-1 odds suggested.

yeah, YST jumped up at the start.. she had every chance and its debatable whether the energy she used up at the start cost her... still a high class prospect..

Yeah that was torrential. Looks like it's eased now and almost stopped, but it has definitely had an effect on the track.

Anyway:

Boscobel
Lucarno
Yellowstone

Wire to wire performance by Boscobel, beautifully rated in front and never really looked in doubt in my opinion. Lucarno ran well, and Yellowstone made good ground late.

2nd and 3rd looked ready to pounce rounding the turn but the winner had more than enough in reserves... Im a bit disappointed with Lucarno as I expect big things from him..

Oh damn, I used her as an alt in the contest.

Must now go and smack myself!

Thanks for the updates! Happy to hear Yellowstone got up for a piece of it.
