Really disappointed with Majestic Roi, surely that wasn't her running. Ahh well, win some, lose some.

I suppose the question we have to ask ourseelves now is how goos is Good Ba Ba?

I'm not sure if this was the greatest Lockinge, but it wasn't a bad renewal by any means.

I've got Creachadoir in my Godolphin seven stars, so the result wasn't all bad.

Just watched the race for the first time on Youtube. Majestic Roi was travelling like the winner and then went backwards very quickly. I will be treating the form very carefully because there were a couple of hard luck stories and with many of the respected horses being held up of a very steady pace, I can see the form being completely turned around as the season goes on.
