:eek:

no, Gris de Gris 2nd and Runaway 3rd, I didnt really see the finish so dont know where she ended up.. I wouldnt lose too much hope though, her trainer is having a desperate time at the moment..

What can I say? You're yet another devotee of the Eric Donovan trip handicapping methodology.:rolleyes:

So where is she next? Has she run again since?

Hasn't run since and she's possible for the Falmouth.

Thank You!!!

No problem. :)

Not saying she'll win but 10/1 are kinda nice odds on Heaven Sent.

Can someone help me out? Pedigree moron... who is she a full sister to again? Thanks in advance.

SPACIOUS is the tentative call in an intriguing race where Goldikova and Rainbow View are the other leading protagonists. The trials and tribulations of Rainbow View's season have been well documented and this could be a seminal point in her season as she bids to become the fourth consecutive three year old winner. Connections will be hoping that sufficient rain falls in the Newmarket area to take any jar out of the ground and there will be many willing to give her another chance following respectable efforts in the Oaks and the Coronation. The soft ground was offered up as a possible excuse for Goldikova's failure on her seasonal return at a time when her yard weren't firing on all cylinders. She was twice defeated by the brilliant Zarkava in May and June last season but was unbeaten thereafter and sets the benchmark but has her trip to the Breeders' Cup left a mark? This is where we find out. Spacious' form falls someway short of that level but she was only beaten half a length in the Guineas before losing her way and it could be that the new tactics adopted at the behest of Johnny Murtagh can see her assert herself at the highest level. She was allowed an uncontested lead at Royal Ascot (where Heaven Sent never looked like passing her) and it's a concern that that scenario is unlikely to develop here with Cosmopolitan and Penny's Gift likely to provide competition up front but we'll take a chance that Spacious can repel all challengers.

Jesus, what are people doing reading stuff in the International room?

Spacious is a terrible bet here, got gifted the race last time out. Goldikova is an extraordinary price if she gets anywhere near her form last year.

Check out American racing. We have two horses over here. Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta. That's it. If we want to read and talk about racing, this is where we have to come.

:)

I'm disappointed, Kingie. No love for Einstein?

Einstein is a decent horse. But he hasn't fooled me. He's only upper eschelon today because there aren't any good horses. This is as horrible as the older males have been in all my years as a fan. It's kind of like grading on the curve. If there's a 10 question test and the highest score is only a five, he's the best of the class. Doesn't mean he's really good though. I like good horses, not horses that are the best of what's out there.

I know what you're saying and before anyone starts in with me yeah I know exactly where he rates in regard to the Divas.

Just thought I'd mention him cause in the here and now, as you say, he is awfully good.

Incase she has any fans here, on Moneycantbuymelove who is not entered...

http://www.racingpost.com/news/horse.../julyfestival/

I don't even think he's good now. Just the best of the group. There's a difference.

He's not very good on dirt. He's good in that he's solid on all three surfaces and has a lot of heart but no one is going to confuse him with a really good horse.
