Well you said because Celtic Sea had won over 1600m ( albeit round the sharp greyville) as a 3yo, she then should no doubt stay 1600m as a 4yo at Kenilworth(Albeit a stiffer 1600m)

I used Legal Eagle as an example

He won over 2450 as a 3yo, yet was clearly found out in the closing stages of the Met trip.. A trip using your theory he should stay as an older horse

Courses make a big difference... Just my 30 odd years experience

1600m at Sandown takes a lot of getting
1600m at Chester a lot easier task

I see it’s being announced that Ryan Moore is riding Rainbow Bridge

Take it that means Gav will ride Hawwaam?

Where is Chicken, now that you mention him? Dubai racing has started and he is silent - very unusual for him.

Hope he`s ok, i know he was in his 70`s

I hope he gets more rides on the bug day...i assume The Rattarays are trying to win the met and july...and Moore might be here for July...just my opinion

May as well give him a few sa armchairs , he must be so used to the UK ones :whistle:

Finally not a match race..but all critics for and against will see Anton vs Moore...the Met will answer many questions hopefully both jocks gets a few rides each to show their mettle...

Obviously not privy to the inside info, but I think it is very unfair on Gavin - did nothing wrong and imo it is not the best idea to give the ride to someone not familiar with the track - anyway I backed RB a month ago, so let's hope the UK hotshot can bring him home

Anton?

Gavin should take the Ride on Sovereign 😂😂😂

If by some miracle Sovereign Makes the cut 😒😒!

Do agree that it is a little concerning that @cnc not been posting for a little while...I thought it was time for annual de-feathering and re-growth but that doesn't take so long!! :woohoo:

Anyway, hope he is well...
