I know realise why they call racing a mugs game.

3,5 kg's better off with the Fav for a 3,75L beating in the Daily News not only puts Vettel in as a "must get a run candidate" but on that run he has to be a lively contender, I would be over the moon to have the bets standing on him that you have, well spotted and imo there is NO DOUBT you are going to get a run for your money...

go watch a replay of the race titch ...

I doubt that there is any jock in the race that wouldnt want to be riding Jackson but given the Daily News run Im sure Anton would hardly be upset about the ride?

so does shogunnar also deserve a run in the july based on its daily news 2000 run?

When will the draw for the july take place?

Gondolier runs in the 1st race in Chantilly today. Offtime 13h15

On that note, how much does the jock ability come into all of these selections??
Please don't get me wrong, not slating Teetan at all!!! Think he is a great jock and would love to see him win on Jackson, but its a huge day, and as good of a horse that Jackson is, Teetan still has to bring him home.....does he have the BMT that a Marcus or Delpech have? Suppose a lot will depend on the draw?!

I'm just looking for opinions, not necessarily mine...

Shogunnar has met Vettel twice and been beaten on both occasions do you think that Vettel should not get a run??

Jackson had another 5 lengths on Vettel in the tank.

I'm loving all this talk about these lurkers and lively contenders. If only the price will drift!
