I just went through the fields again and it is staggering... man ed if I lived there I don't think I'd bet cause I'd be so overwhelmed by the continual parade of these huge stars of racing...

Hope they all come home safe and I would love to see some of the ones who need a win do it but you know... love too many of them now so won't sit here wishing 3/4s of each field luck.

Great racing here so far! Loving it. Lady Royale just blew them away in the 2yo race. Especially happy about Delago's Secret - needed to win today to keep his Derby dream alive, and he did! Roger James is going to the Derby again. Amazing. He's won it five times! Just such a good trainer of 3yos.

Hera!

Oh that was great to see.

That is the ONLY replay I've watched so far and will catch up more tomorrow but wow.... I'm really happy for her and for her connections (and for Spellbiner too... another brilliant run BUT nice to see Hera win this one).

That was a great win. I took a couple of photos of Hera.






Thrilled for her. And for her trainer, Roger James, who I saw standing near me and looking super nervous before Delago's Secret's Derby-clinching win. Great day for him.

And how good was Shuka in the Herbie Dyke?

OH!!!!! I JUST WATCHED IT AND WOW HE WAS GREAT!

Nothing separated them! Great for Costume although, much as I like her I do wish it had gone the other way cause I love him so much but wow that was a fantastic race.

... and Zurella! Very nice run!

Love your pics of Hera... thanks for posting them!

The only other replay I've watched at this point was that of Delago's Secret. I hadn't heard the name but yes definitely one to watch

Saw the noms for the 12th... looks like a nice field for Pinzaara! SInce it's on a week day will you be able to go?

Any word on Bounding, ed? I'm surprised not to have seen any update.

Good luck on Wednesday!
