8 minutes left, ed. I am going to be sick I'm so nervous.

She's at 9/1.

Here's hoping.

(... but please remember she doesn't exactly have the same kind of jockey here. I mean he is a special kind of awful but maybe she'll win in spite of him!).

That was so disappointing. She had no sprint at all.

I know, ed. It just didn't even look like her.

Read a bunch of your stuff this morning... well done!

How did Malala look? Have not yet seen the replay but disappointing to see where she finished.

A bit like her sister! Dropped back in the field early in the race and didn't make much of an impression down the stretch.

But, wow, the winner of that race looks good.

Malala apparently suffered an injury during Saturday's race. Not sure about the severity yet, but I didn't see anything obvious at the track. So probably not life-threatening, but possibly an explanation for the performance.

I'm also hearing rumours that Habibi's blood has some irregularities, so that could explain why she wasn't herself either. I'll try to find out more.

That's a shame about both of them and yeah the winner (I hate to say I already forgot her name!) did look good!
