He may well be by the end of the season

But still miles behind frankel

I doubt there will ever be a horse to match him

His Guineas, Queen Anne and juddmonte international win are still spine tingling to watch

[Zachx02]

baaeed best since frankel

I feel like both Scope and Minzaal ran very nice reappearance races this week

Scope especially ran a blinder today over a trip way too short and carrying a group 1 penalty

I definitely think he's improved again over the winter watching that which puts him right in the mix

And minzaal was given a pretty gentle ride by crowley the other day, a good starting point for him

FWIW..

Queen Olly who won impressively today and has had the target confirmed by David Loughnane (Albany)

Showing as a standout 7/1 with Hills for Albany but I got her priced up with Sky and they're offering 10s.

Trainer was singing praise for her post race saying she's his best 2yo which is a fair statement.

Dante is really interesting today, I've taken El Bodegon win today and the derby, 2 year old form works out very well with him beating Stone Age

Me too, no brainer really. If he bolts up he'll surely be a similar price to Stone Age.

How do you think he'll get on back over 1m 4f at Newbury on Saturday?

Badly I suspect

He's way too slow for that

I was going to say eshaada will romp that but with it being a group 3 both her and Scope carry large penalties which makes the race a minefield

Ascot gold cup
Scope 10/1

Did me a favour in France needing all of the 1m7 1/2 furlongs of the prix Royal Oak

In fact he was only getting going again at the end

Will relish the 2m4f the only question is whether he is quite classy enough but I think il get a good run for my money if he lines up

Looks good doesn't she

Only question is whether she will go on whatll probably be very soft ground

Her price for the oaks is an absolute disgrace, though she is the likeliest winner in my eyes

Yep, not touching that price now. Got better before her season appearance. Soft ground would be the concern yeah, October in France is normally wet.

[FinalFurlong91]

Emily Upjohn still green but wins easily. Could go the Enable route and go to the Arc with the allowance. 14/1 is fair imo.

Thought that was a pretty good starting point for Minzaal today

Not overly surprising that the two race fit rivals won

He certainly wasn't knocked about by Jim crowley

Gonna be so hard to pick the winner of the Derby

All the trials have been small fields and obrein has won them all

Knowing which one of them will appreciate the test of the Derby the most is virtually impossible

Il likely just back obreins big priced ones on the day

[Zachx02]

That was very impressive, if Desert Crown isn't that great I think Stone Age will end up winning imo

[Zachx02]

Luxembourg out of the derby
