Black Arthurs comments was interesting . He seemed very excited here and when seeing him work in the mornings was hoping the july would be run within days. This tells me that the gelding must be showing them excellent work and I see now 10 s in betting. Justin said that Delpech had not committed yet so lets see if Black Arthur has impressed him enough to secure the ride for the big one .
Lotters , Justin is always talking his horses up...Last year there was huge betting support for BA and then Justin was going on about Bela Bela which resulted in Delpech switching mount...why is this year any different?
Agreed FF. Always fun for the game to have his upbeat character though. I recall a few years back when he wanted a match race between Dancers Daughter and Pocket Power... Bass said no. I also recall him saying that Dancers Daughter would trounce Pocket Power in the MET... "Bring Pocket and his little sister (River Jetez), and my filly will dispose of them..." I recall him saying something to that effect. I personally went all out on Dancers Daughter... And guess what, Pocket reigned supreme.

What about Al Saheem? Or as it was pointed out to me before if any Slack horse gets in will Delpech have to ride that first? My money is on Big Al if he comes through the Daily News well(he does not even have to win - Remember Pomodoro did not win the DN) then I think Delpech will be glued to his saddle for the July.
Every year the 'July' question is whether the 3 yr olds are good enough at the allocated weights to trouble the older horses - some years they are, other years not - last year they were not - and no clear indication whether they will be good enough this year. Seeing that Delpech seemingly prefers Black Arthur from the Snaith runners, it would be interesting to know his preference between Al Sahem and Black Arthur
