I think Saxon Warrior put up Brentford Hope after this run.
Superb. May well end up over hurdles!
I've parted with some cash on him though, I think this was very taking! -
Derby and Oaks provisionally planned for 4 July.
Application made to local authority for approval (road/footpath/public bridleway closures etc), seems certain to be approved.
You’d have to think with all the detailed planning going on for specific races that government discussions, and indeed approval, are at an advanced stage...Comment

What are your thoughts on Waldkonig’s chances in the Derby? I watched his debut at Wolverhampton in December last night and he is a powerhouse, not sure how he compares to Punutibo though as he’s only had one race so farComment

I haven’t given the race much/any thought but I wouldn’t have thought many Derby hopes make their racecourse debuts at Wolverhampton.
Personally I’ll let racing restart and a few of the hopefuls to show what they’ve got before I get involved and if that means missing a price so be it...Comment

From your response I’m guessing you don’t expect the Derby to take place on June 6th?? I’m assuming it will be moved until a later date to allow horses to get at least one race under their belts?Originally posted by Istabraq View PostComment

The original 6 June date was postponed a while back TKP, they’ve now provisionally said it will take place on 4 July along with the OaksOriginally posted by The King Pimm View Post

Aah right I see. I saw the date at the top of the betting market and assumed that was it. Thanks for the updateOriginally posted by Istabraq View PostComment

Had two darts at this so far
Military March 12/1 and Brentford Hope 33/1 both ew. Both looks like likely runners think both represent good value.
Can't see Pinatubo in the line up come the dayComment

He looked a bit of a rocket didn't he. Given that pedigree you'd imagine he'll end up useful to some degree.Originally posted by The King Pimm View Post
Waldgeist, Arc winner.
Waldlied, easy winner of 3yo group 2 before never being seen again.
Waldstern, after not living up to his debut promise, he still is 107 rated.
Chances are he'll end up some form of useful anyway. I missed Rowlands article on his bare performance timewise!
Not sure i'd be too worried about Pinatubo for this tbh.
Worth noting TKP, Gosden did in Feb he'd love to get another novice race into Waldkonig...so he just need some more course experience.Last edited by jack1092; 18 May 2020, 01:16 PM.Comment

Cashed out Brentford hope looks like Epsom may not be in the owners plansOriginally posted by Crolwey113 View PostComment

I’m never too worried about where John Gosden sets them off at. He had Jack Hobbs make his debut in the winter at Wolverhampton and without checking, he may have sent Enable to Newcastle (obviously not en route to the derby)Originally posted by Istabraq View PostComment
