Any word on Yeats? His shock loss in his debut this year makes one wonder; is he the horse he has been? 'Course, Geordieland seems to be better than ever at 8, so...,

I do believe we have probably seen the best of him now. There were excuses to his defeat, but he would usually overcome them with his class, but for me the sparkle was almost gone.

I hope I'm wrong, but it didn't look good.

Wow, Paco Boy was sensational in the Queen Anne. The race was over when he hit the lead under a tight hold two furlongs out. Really impressive.

I've always been a big fan of Cesare, so I'm thrilled he came second.

Gladiatorus was a big disappointment. Ahmed Ajtebi might get a bit of criticism for the ride. He did go very fast early in the race.

From Jessica Lamb, Wesley Ward, trainer of American raider Cannonball, has always been bullish about his steeds chances and could say only this: "I didn't bring him over for the weather! The ground is plenty quick but he's the oneto beat."

For a 33 to 1 shot i thought his talk was a little bold for the horse he had & the horses in the field ;-)

After seeing how dashing you looked on Derby day, I am sure they are all white tails.

Good lord. Scenic Blast swallowed the field up in four or five strides.

Nice efforts by the second and third horses, but he was a class above them.
