Anyway, Im hoping for a Hawk Wing winner at Ascot tomorrow, either one in the first will do.. And Miss Andretti winning again would be sensational..

I DVR'ed the coverage we get here. She looked just smashing in the Paddock, made a move on the turn and then just flattened. Another day hopefully. I've never seen her in the paddock before, well put together filly and seems to have a lot of scope although you can never really tell until you see them with your own eyes.

She is a lovely looking filly, without a doubt.

When the rain came down about an hour before her race i knew it would be difficult for her. The ground cannot be firm enough for her. She travelled well on it, but when asked to quicken there was nothing there. She is most unlike the winner (Indian Ink) who adores soft ground, and that showed yesterday.

Indian Ink's turn of foot was unbelievable, I don't think I've ever seen a horse accelerate like that in wet ground before. Breathtaking.

Yeah, wasn't Indian Ink something like 25-1 on the ML and went off at 8-1? They showed video replay of her other races and they were certainly nothing like we saw yesterday!

Yep...... all the brave people started to bet on her when they heard heavy rain was forecast, but considering how bad our weather forecasts are, that takes a lot of nerve.

She is a nice filly, don't get me wrong, but she is so much better on softer ground. She is basically the complete opposite of Finsceal.
