Authorized has once again managed to get a monsoon to fall where he needs it.

Lots of rain has fallen in the Paris area over the last thirty six hours. Totally against what forecasters have been predicting over the last five days!

I'm not sure how this horse manages to do it, but every big start he has, he manages to get plenty of rain (which apparently he needs to perform at his best).

I think i'm siding with Brock now, just hoping that Zambezi Sun has plenty more to offer, especiallly now as the ground has been softened up.

I'm hoping for anyone but Authorized, though.

Personally, I think it was silly for any forecaster NOT to predict rains in Paris at this time of year. If I held that job, I'd predict rain everyday.

Most of the time i'd agree, but they have had next to no rain there until two days ago. Same in this country. We hadn't had rain in weeks until the other day.

As far as i'm aware, they are shocked with the amount of rain that has fallen in such a short space of time.

Authorized raced on good to soft ground in the Derby (the quickest he has encountered) and he came back slightly jarred up on that. He wouldn't be able to race on quick ground, and everytime he has run, the rain has arrived just in time. Lucky or what.
