Listen will run, and my Thrilling girl won't.

I'm so happy they are giving her a break at last. She looked like such a tired filly in the Lowther and she got knocked around a bit in the race.

After the break, she will be back better than ever, and she WILL win the 1,000 Guineas next year!

Would be interesting to see if they let Kitty take her chance. Although she was only fourth on her debut she showed plenty of ability. She was still green, but just like her brother, she tried hard.

Saoirse Abu, a G1 winner against the colts and only 3rd favourite.. Its certainly an interesting race...

Cashmans: 11-10 Listen, 9-4 Albabilia, 3 Saoirse Abu, 8 Mad About You, 14 Solas Na Greine, 40 Juniper Berry, 50 Queen Jock, 250 Miss Red Eye. Others on request.

No pick... just a great race to watch.

Good luck to Warsaw, to Greatwallofchina, and to Moss Vale (I know, I know, hasen't won in like a year) and Benbaum in this one...

Ben / Dandy / Moss (Chalk fest). :D

I don't suppose anyone will be able to watch these races and give me a visual on here?

Playing cricket all day, so won't be able to see any racing (i'm praying for rain so it gets called off, but that doesn't look likely).

I hope Benbaun wins today, he won't find it easy giving weight to Dandy Man, but i hope he can win.

Good luck to Great Barrier Reef and Greatwallofchina (wake up this time, silly boy :D )

Moyglare will be a good race, but i really couldn't pick one in this.

Well done to Benbaun today. He might have lot lucky with the rain they had, but he was very brave today to beat Dandy Man.

Just watching some replays now.

Great Barrier reef very disappointing.

Well done to the Greeley girl in the Moyglare, she deserved that.

Not seen Greatwallofchina yet, but know he didn't win :(

Glad to hear Benbaun won..... how did Moss do?

Will have to find a replay of the Moyglare.

I think Moss Vale was third, but that's just off the top of my head.

Greatwallofchina disappointed AGAIN, spoke to the girl that looks after him and they don't know what to say. She said they are running out of excuses for him. Fallon said he just lacked class, but apparently he has shown so much talent in his work back at Ballydoyle.

He is probably one of those horses that works like a gr1 horse at home, but can't win a maiden on the track. A very frustrating type.

Hi,

I thought I would pop in on this discussion.

Replays of the Moyglare can be seen at http://www.attheraces.com . You have to sign up, but replays are free, and they seem to have a good catalogue of races archived.

I would love to get more information about the third-place finisher, as she is a three-quarters sibling to my stallion.

Welcome to the forum.

Benbaun a breeders cup possible :)

AS one door closes, another looks set to open for Benbaun, who completed a hat-trick in the Flying Five at the Curragh on Sunday.

Owing to the current outbreak of equine influenza in Japan, the six-year-old son of Stravinsky is set to miss an intended trip to the Sprinters' Stakes.

However, trainer Mark Wallace is still thinking in global terms and is now eyeing a crack on the dirt at the Breeders' Cup Sprint before a return visit to the Hong Kong Sprint in December.

“He's some horse to be able to win a race like that three years in a row,” said Wallace. “He would nearly have won it four years in a row but for losing by a head. We were giving Dandy Man 3lb as well.

“The plan is to take him back to the Curragh in two weeks for the Renaissance Stakes and then I might shoot for the stars and go for the Breeders' Cup.

“Those Stravinskys will go on dirt, and there would be a lot worse horses who have tried their luck in the sprint.

“Plan A had been Japan, but through no fault of our own it looks like it will be knocked on the head, because I think it may be called off.

“It's not certain, but the Breeders' might be our plan B before we go on to Hong Kong again.”
