Insanity and his adherents...

I think value has to come into play at some point, and George's sheer ability has to be bet on at the price, although people seem to have cottoned on and he's back to 5/2 now.

I've taken some of the 9/1 about Proclamation, and will just top up to a small amount now that the price has crashed.

Agree that we'll see a completely different Araafa today and, given that, have opted to back him to place at around evens. I reckon one or 2 of the above will be too good for him at the finish though.


BTW, Timeform rated George's 2,000 Guineas win @ 129+
Proclamation's Sussex win last season was 128+

For the record Araafa's Irish 2000 win was 120 & St James' win 122, whilst Librettist has got figs of 124 and 121 for his last 2 wins respectively.
