Best Group 2 in the world?

Well, I take that back about Fame And Glory could turn out to be slow. However, I think we can say that Mourayan could be put under that category.

Ridden confidently, travelled well, quickened and powered away. Scary thought is that he'll be better over a mile and half, but with Mourayan looking very one paced there is a question mark as to what he beat in winning this.

Mourayan looks like the St Leger type and in time could turn out to be a serious cup horse, but you'd have to say he wouldn't have the speed to win at Epsom.

Fame And Glory looks to have everything, but like I say I'm not going to go over board about him (unlike the bookmakers) as I'm not sure what this form is worth. I'm pretty sure that if Gan Amhras had turned up for this, he'd have either won or pushed Fame And Glory right to the line.

Thoughts?

No Chance, just got a chance to see the race, I was impressed with the winner. Usually O'Brien's winners in this race arent that visually impressive (Galileo and High Chap just won after being impressive in the Ballysax), but this guy looked the goods. I have to say I, along with plenty of others with Mourayan. He should have improved for his first run, but didnt really and is slightly concerning. He may be badly in need of a step up in trip and Ill judge him on his next efforts.

I was surprised to see Nick Mordin have quite a negative view of the race. Fame and Glory will go to Epsom as a deserving favourite, but there are plenty of would be challengers. We'll know plenty more after the always informative Dante tomorrow.

I just get the impression that Fame And Glory beat very little the other day. I do like him and he's obviously a horse with plenty of class, but to me, he's beaten a very slow horse who will need a trip and very little else.

I think there are other horses that deserve to be shorter in the betting than this fella.
