Going out of town for a couple of days but best of luck to Notnowcato, to Dylan, Asiatic Boy and to Hattan (... shut up. I still like him even if.....).

Come home safe, everyone.

Assuming Authorized is your pick Viscount... good luck.

[NoChanceToDance]

All of them............


Apart from Authorized!

Once again, this lucky horse gets the rain he needs to be able to perform, i swear he must do a rain dance before his big races. Every other horse in the race apart from Notnowcato have been declared wanting a firmer surface, most of all Asiatic Boy and Dylan Thomas.

I'm not sure what the conditions have been like at York, but nearly every has had plenty of rain in the last couple of days.

Authorized has had his way all year, it's becoming a joke. Any other summer the ground would have been good to firm for the Dante, Derby and Exlipse and more than likely we would be saying "who is Authorized". All he is, is a soft ground horse.

I hope Asiatic Boy wins as easily as Montjeu won the King George!!!!



Bring me back something nice, mmsc
