Boys in blue will only run one here. Which one though?

Anyone else think it's gonna end up having only 6 runners (maybe 7)?

He's had a set back, he's main target this year was the eclipse but they screwed him up (like usual). Now they will be pushing it to get him ready for the Sussex.

He won't be ready though, huh?

So they're supposedly running both in this one?

Okay which one gets scratched tomorrow morning?

GO MARAAHEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I know he had a setback and kept it quiet about him not making the Eclipse and just saying he would be pointed at the Sussex to keep people happy, but I'm guessing they will struggle to have him 100% for the Sussex.

I doubt Literato will run, he's now ruined and needs softer ground (rain we were predicted hasn't come). Saw him at Newmarket last week and he was carrying plenty of condition. I'd be very surprised if he will run, unless we get a lot of rain.

O'Brien cant stop winning.. Mount Nelson just pips Phoenix Tower.. Maraahel last I believe. Phoenix Tower could be the new Maraahel - 2nd in 3 G1s now..

Damn.

Godolphin ran both? Shocked.

Poor Maraahel. He tries so hard.

Bummed.

No, Literato was taken out this morning.

Gutted for Pheonix Tower, he's such a battler. He'll pick up a Gr 1, I'm sure of it.
