I ended up falling asleep my allegies...just before the big race. But managed a nice win with Size-Whyte duo in the 2nd. I went with Armada in the mile just to have a rooting interest but the brilliant Good Ba Ba was simply the class of the race. What a performance!

Didn't get to see Archipenko win (had to go to hospital ) but very surprised he was good enough to win.

Good Ba Ba was in a league of his own, wasn't even extended to win. Very impressive perrformance. Hee seems to be getting better and better. Hopefully we will see him in something like the QEII or the Sussex over here in the Summer..... anyone know if there is a chance of that happening?

Good Ba Ba looked sensational last night.... it will be interesting to see if he does travel and show his high class form away from HK..

I was delighted with Archipenko but had nothing on him unfortunately.. He's had a fair few problems but is a quality horse. Im happy as well that he is keeping up the tremendous record of Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial winners...Plus, I think we should have a wacky crazy predictions thread and I would have Archipenko down as the Breeders Cup Classic winner. He should at least give it a go..

Definitely the horse that stood out tonight was Good Ba Ba, I would love to see what this guy could do shipping out of HK. A model of consistency and he beat or perhaps toyed with a good field.

Yeah, we will know so much more about him and the state of HK racing if/when he ships to Europe or America. I'd love to see him at Ascot this summer against the best milers Europe has to offer.

He has improved since beating Creachadoir, but he will have needed to for him to compete against the best milers from around the world, as Creachadoir is hardly a world beater (well, in my opinion he isn't)
