I finally watched the replay and wow... speechless is right.

By six and a half lengths, and also 2 seconds faster than the boys in the Bonecrusher on the same day. Just a really special performance. She's now equal favourite for the 1000 Guineas, along with Bounding.

Really good fields for Spring Classic day - especially the Guineas. Maybe All Decked Out... just.

And good luck to Postman's Daughter as she tries again for that elusive G1 win in the Classic, and Fritzy Boy defending his Spring Sprint title.

Fantastic fields!

I would root for Lucky Feather but since he (finally!!!) just won last weekend (finally!!!) that was good enough.

(Finally!!!)

If I were betting I might take Donnie but lucky for me I can just enjoy these races.

Good luck to Zinko in his race.

As far as the rest waaay too many I love but yes would be thrilled for Postman's Daughter as well.

The field for the Sprint is amazing!

Poor Opie.

Ed I just searched for your girl...did Pinzaara just run like a few minutes ago or have I lost my mind and am somehow looking at the wrong date?

So confused.

IF she did just run naughty you for not letting us know ahead of time!

She did! But Stephen McKee told us not to expect much from her in her first race. She wasn't really ready, but he wanted her to have a run. She'll improve from here, hopefully.

Great day at Hastings today. Ransomed? Really? But he ran a great race, and I'm so happy for Gary Vile and Jonathan Parkes - first G1 win for both. Parkes in particular has been unlucky, being replaced by bigger-name jockeys.

Historian! Love that horse. He's so, so good when he's healthy.

And Sir Andrew in the Guineas - bit of a surprise, but he did score a monster maiden win back in August. Son of Sir Percy. Nice run by All Decked Out again.

So confused... the first G1 for both? Really?

Nice nice race and the top three finishers were all soooo good.

Great to see your girl back!

Nice race by All Decked Out... did he stumble right around 1:20? Looked like it (... and if he hadn't I don't think Sir Andrew (who was really good, don't get me wrong) would have passed him).

The only other replay I've watched so far was Historian and yes that was lovely to see!

Oh wait I just watched the one where Bellazeel refused to run..... (Go Joeli won I think?)... I really do like Lauren Tate. She's fun to watch and that was a good finish... if only she'd focus!

Lest I forget thre was a 2 year old filly at the end of last year...pretty grey girl, something with Fantastic in her name but I cannot remember. Do you know who I mean and if so any word on her?

Thanks ed and yes I do expect for you to be a mindreader!
