Glorious Goodwood

[my miss storm cat]

Wow I had no idea Blythe Knight was still in training.

I'm a huge JJ fan but those are nice odds on Dream Eater in the Betfair Cup.

Sugar Ray in the Detica Summer Handicap, Aetos in the final...

Come home safe, Balthazaar. He wins one a year and already has for 2009 (at Nad al Sheba. Windsor in 2008, Ascot in 2007, etc ) but a fun horse to follow anyway.

Godolphin has 2 scratches... Asset and Parthenon.
