Dont know who to be cheering on (or betting) here.. lets just hope then that we get a good race and Famous Name (or New Approach!) wins!!!

I'm going to miss this race

I think New Approach will make this look easy today.

Myboycharlie......., Rio De La Plata......... who are they???


Not seen the race but was told he won a comfortable two lengths, might as well let him have the 2,000 Guineas right now. I can't imagine the second or third turning the form around, as (as scary as it sounds) New Approach will be so much better as a 3yo.

I'm over the moon with the results today, and we won our cricket game despite eight, yes eight dropped catches. Can the day get much better.

New Approach, 2,000 Guineas winner, 2008

Watch how Kevin (Manning) really has to fight to pull him up........... unbelievable, he has just beaten two of europe's best 2yo's and it doesn't look like he's even been in a race.

Wow, how bad must the other team have been?

Great win by New Approach, it's extremely hard to see him beaten in the Guineas...provided he avoids suffering the same bad luck as Teofilo of course. Their careers have been amazingly similar to date, hope the similarities come to an end soon.
