It's such a shame, because this is another race that could be sorted out by the weather. At the moment, i would say it is unlikely that Silkwood will run, either.

Michael Jarvis has already stated that she is a filly that loves really fast ground, and she is unlikely to get that at York.

Anymore rain and i think she will be a non runner, also

No rain at York yet....... so it's looking okay at the moment.

Still good, good to soft in places, though.

Another cracking run by Peeping Fawn, best filly or mare in the world?? Its not as crazy as it sounds.. 4 G1 wins, Murtagh praised her as brilliant.. 9 runs this year and shes still improving it seems... Silkwood disappointed, travelled strongly but at the end, didnt find much.. Allegretto came 2nd..

Just got back from York (boy, i forgot how far it is from Newmarket to York and back again).

Great day's racing for all (apart from my wallet)!!!!

Only winner i backed was Sir Gerry.

I managed to pick out the 2nd and 4th in the Ebor and Fred's Lad (3rd)...... wasn't enough to keep me in profit though.

Greatwallofchina was a big let down to the Ballydoyle camp who expected a very good effort today. However, if you saw him in the paddock you could be forgiven in thinking he was a 5yo. He was so laid back, and he raced too lazily for his own good. Johnny said he was still a big baby and didn't really know what he was doing. He should win next time.

Was good to see dome old friends from Germany and Ireland who i haven't seen in a while.

Beautiful day there, but came home to floods

Id really love to see Peeping Fawn race at Leopardstown in a few weeks in the Matron to get her 5th G1 in a row and over 8,10 and 12f. And then off to the Arc, Breeders Cup, etc etc She really is something else. 10 runs in 4 and a half months..
