She was 2nd which, in a field of 20, was pretty good (no I didn't play it... I just think she's a good horse).

On to bigger and better things!

Not saying she's going to win but come on... Piccadilly Filly is at 80/1?

That's insanity.

Anybody watch the Yorkshire Oaks this morning? Gates open, Spencer starts kicking and shoving, Sariska stands there. Spencer keeps on shoving for 10 more seconds before he quits, turns and grimaces toward the gate crewmen (and probably lets loose a few choice Irish oaths). Sariska stands there.

They finally got her to walk out of the gate, after the race was nearly over. It was the strangest thing, because she wasn't acting flighty or antsy before the race; indeed, she looked calm and professional going down to the start. Unfortunately for the punters, she was considered a starter because her gate opened and there was no obstruction to keep her from running. She just chose not to race today.

[my miss storm cat]

Heard about it but thank you for describing it!

"She has a little bit of a quirk and we need to reflect before making plans. She was in a long time and I suppose she has been slow to stride quite often in her races but she has always jumped out. It is obviously very worrying but I can't say yet what we are going to do because we are in a state of shock at the moment.

"She moved beautifully to post but she knows her way round the Knavesmire very well and the stable entrance is bang next to the stalls and she is cute, she is bright and whether that is the reason I don't know. But as Jamie said, no-one has died and the filly is fine."


Michael Bell

As an aside, final fields for tomorrow.

Good luck to Hali who I'm surprised to see is the longest shot on the board in the Stresnsall.

Jarvis has a very nice runner in Rainbow Peak and Rio is wonderful (King's Gambit... I like him but his odds seems pretty damned low) but i will choose to hope for a miracle and that the well mannered gentleman who is stable mate to Mr. Let me Bite Your Hand Now (Youmzain! ) gets that long-awaited win.

Still pondering the big race... anyone have a pick?

Will the Starspangled one do it? (I always feel a little bad for his former trainer...)

[_ed_]

I've never seen a horse just stand there like that before. I've seen some stay in the gates for two or three seconds, but never that. Wonder what was going through her head.

But what a great win by Midday!

I'm going to go with my old favourite Borderlescott in the Nunthorpe. Just because.

... and, like the winner , she was 100/1 (and was 3rd).

I love this quote from Sole Power's trainer:

"The last time I trained [a G1 winner], someone woke me up!"
