Not a brilliant race for me.
he has proved himself to be a good horse now, so i'm happy for him. I just hope he goes on from here, because if he doesn't we have a real problem with our derby looking like it isn't very good. From his previous form you couldn't tip him or even pick him at 5/4..... but he won, i suppose. Good horse, dreadful jockey (still) Aqaleem ran a solid race and i was happy with that. |

Yes, Aqaleem will stay even further, and the St Leger will be his target now, over 14 furlongs. |

Im disappointed Lucarno didnt hold on for third.. He looks a horse of promise. Eagle Mountain ran very well from where he was and definitely stayed the 12f. I dont think Soldier of Fortune or the others behind did.. The winner got some very short quotes for the King George where there could be a fair few nice older horses. I suppose with the weight he gets, he's a deserving fav on today's performance..

Has there been people wanting to drop the distance of the Derby?? I havent heard any! I heard more negative comments than positive ones when the French Derby was dropped in distance..

Part of this is because of the american breeding programme. It is all to do with speed over there now and we are getting more and more american bred horses racing over here. But having said that, Lucarno seemed to get the trip well today and if anything, i think he will be the best horse to come out of this race. Breeder's Cup classic 2008........... i will be there to see him win! |
