Really enjoyed the racing so far.

How good was Sacred Kingdom........wow.

Couldn't believe how fat Dylan looked in the paddock, i knew he wouldn't be as fit as he could be, but he looked like a mare in foal. Never really expected him to win, but as soon as i saw him, he had no chance.

We are having to watch the races with a five minute delay, so you will probably get the results before i even see the race

Good Ba Ba and Creachadoir.

Darjina very unlucky.

Looks like Good Ba Ba just has it.

Love this one

Good Ba Ba looked very well through the race. Quickened along side Creachadoir on the outside and just kept holding of the Godolphin horse by the narrowest of winning margins.

Excellent Art was awful. Aidan must be wondering why he even bothered going there.

Darjina was held in for quite a while, but came fast when she saw daylight. Fairly unlucky not to be a line of three as they crossed the line.

I don't really know. The caller was so involved with Good Ba Ba, Creachadoir and Darjina that he didn't mention any others in the closing stages.

I think he finished mid pack, but i'm not exactly sure where.

Didnt get to see the race at all, but can anyone tell me what happened to Miss Andretti? Was it she just couldnt handle that way of going or did she look sore? etc.
Thanks guys!

She had a bad gate draw, and really raced to keenly to get towards to lead before the turn. Around the turn she was about four wide.

She soon tired.

It was always going to be difficult for her from that draw. She is a great horse and i'd just forget about this run because everything went wrong for her.

We all know how good she is, she had nothing to prove.
