EBONY FLYER

If you asked me ( and nobody has! ) I would rate this filly an absolutely brilliant performer up to 1400m whereafter she becomes a little vulnerable. I don't think she is very much different to her ( full? ) sister from a couple of seasons back.

When I heard there were plans to run her in the Met I fell off my chair laughing. It appears that sanity has prevailed and even the Paddock Stakes over 1800 m is now being given a miss. I think ( and it's my OPINION only ) that the Queen's Plate is the best top class option for possibly bolstering her CV although I would be mildly surprised if she wins it given the opposition that she faces.

Certainly she would need to be as good as Empress Club or Olympic Duel to win it. I don't think she is but then I am more often wrong than right.

yes seems to have run out of juice with 400m to go = after running wide around the turn though

I think Dancer's Daughter would have been the more appropriate horse to use in your argument.

My only conern with all the hype around this extremelly talented filly is will the racing public/punters crucify the owners and trainer and jockey should the fail come after the Queens Plate race.... I hope not.

Don`t see why Russell? she will be running against the best in the Country

What? Racing people being clever after the event?? Never!

Woodruff knows what he is doing...
he is going for the Queens plate....
sure he has a line on EF..

My people have been crucified for years. . .including Jesus before he became a gentile! So we are used to it. Ready the nails!!!

Barry only nails you will need are for hanging more shelfs in your trophy room!

Its fine let the horse drift then we can nail the bookies

one of the best threads ever

ask any jockey who has ridden PP and he will tell you there is no better. but certainly I am going with youth and the chick at the moment

I have mundo respect for Barry and Team Valor but she is going to struggle to beat the "horsechild" that is Pocket Power.

If she does beat him she will certainly be one of my favourite horses to be trained in France for a long time to come
