Championship Stakes replay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_xJ_UH7rgI

It was another good performance by Zarzuela, and today she proved she can still win when another horse resists her big late move, but I'm starting to think she could be a bit vulnerable in the Derby. She found it much harder to beat these guys today over 2100m, compared with her easy 2000m win last time, and I'm not convinced about her with another 300m in the Derby. I still think she deserves to be the favourite, but I'm not sure the result's a foregone conclusion.

Corporal Jones is getting better with every race, and look at the way King Raedwald finished off this race. Last year's Derby winner ran 3rd in this race - it might be the same again.

And there's Katie Lee, Monaco Consul and Imabayboy as well! And Volgus (half-brother to Rios and Roman Emperor), who ran nicely in another race today and might just sneak into the Derby field.
