On the other hand Librettist is FAR too short, and I'm laying him.

So he's behaving today.....

Good luck to George too..... love them all in this one. (Well, almost all).

4 mins before the race and George appears to be behaving himself. However, its during the race when I worry about him!

George wins, Araafa, Court Masterpiece.

Where did Librettist end up?

We got Gorgeous George today, George Washington by far the best, proving himself an exceptional miler, and clearly the best in Europe.
Both the Godolphin horses were well stuffed, Proclamation only just beting Librettist who beat only the pacemaker home. I'll watch the race a few more times and get back to you with my thoughts. Needless to say I'll be waxing lyrical about the winner.

Thanks for the update, ArlJim and yeah... would love to hear your take Hwjb.

Good for George.....

the winner looked awesome, not a bad run by Araafa, but no match for the winner. very nice.

The best in the world. Probably the best miler in a generation.

Where was Oracle this morning? We waited for him until 10:15.
