![]() is a good horse - ridiculous win in the King George 11L over Irish Derby winner Cape Blanco. Workforce shows nothing - we have an awful crop of 12f 3yos..

![]() I just don't get it, mate. We certainly have the worst bunch of 3yo's we've seen in a long time and that helps explain some of it.
We also saw a pretty bad Epsom Derby field this year. But what isn't explained is how Workforce smashed the track record that day? If he ran a moderate time and won by seven lengths, I'd be like "yeah, he's easily the best of a bad bunch" and that would explain everything. There was something about that Derby time that never made sense. He is supposed to have smashed the record, even though, visually it never looked like they went break neck pace. Also, if they really did go that fast, how has the pacemaker still held on for a place? Do we have to doubt the time produced for the Derby? Or was it merely a fluke? Nothing quite adds up. If he's the best of a bad bunch, then he still shouldn't beat a Gr1 record that has stood for a good number of years now, should he? I've never trusted a King's Best, and in that statement we might find the answer to all of the questions posed by today. Harbinger has long been a horse who has had massive wraps on him, right from the day he broke his maiden in impressive fashion at Chester. But he disappointed badly in the Great Vultiger when finishing last and everything seemed lost. His female pedigree is that of a horse who will improve with age/time and that certainly looks to be the case. But rather like was the case for Workforce's derby victory, he has done that far too easily to be true for my liking and I'll be treating the form with plenty of caution until I finally get what is happening around my head. ![]()

![]() Well, I live the other side of the world, and all I know is that she isn't here. I've not heard from her in a few days - but I'm sure she is enjoying some well earnt rest and no doubt she will be catching up with all things horse racing and sex related soon.
If I happen to hear from her, I'll be sure to let you know, mommy's boy.
