so i've heard that they have had a lot of rain and are expecting a soft course. so much that wesley ward isn't going at all. i wonder if there will be scratches from any of the major players............

Pulling out my hair trying to figure out how to arrange Bated Breath, Ortensia, Little Bridge, Joy And Fun and Margot Did.

As usual I'm playing Excelebration to beat Frankel although a, haven't had much luck in the past and b, I do like Red Jazz as well.

Can't wait!

Hope the HK kids do well (some tough girls up against them though) and of course best of luck, Mr. Channon.

How about you SS? Are you playing every race? Looking forward to / playing / rooting for anyone in particular?

i'm just looking forward to seeing frankel and black caviar. i can't remember if frankel has run on a soft course. do you know if excelebration "excels" on a soft course? he will definitely need some kind of edge to have a chance to beat the beast.

Here are my very fine Royal Horsey Picks

2.25 Frankel
3.05 Ortensia ( I think Morty's Pick would be #19)
3.45 Power
4.25 Sir Prancelot (Like #7 too)
5.00 Simenon
5.35 Lyric Ace

[King Glorious]

I'm looking forward to seeing Black Caviar and really hoping for a loss.
