Great day of racing.

In the Newmarket, tiny little grey filly COOL STORM finally got her first stakes win after four close placings.

KNIGHT'S TOUR, a horse no one had really heard of, had an amazing breakout performance in the Guineas and is now the second favourite for the Derby. This was a great win, and he looks like a really nice colt.

1000 Guineas winner PLANET ROCK delivered again in the Eight Carat. She had to work real hard to get the lead from her wide gate, but she just kept kicking down the straight and no others got close.

And, in the Zabeel, SHEZ SINSATIONAL got her first G1 win after two placings at this level. No surprise at all to see her win one, and it was a terrific performance. Veyron second, Doctor Fremantle third (whoa!), Lady Kipling fourth, Booming fifth.
