He have unbelievable cruising speed and gears of a real top horse , his previous race he just smashed them from the go but this time came out almost slow, rushed to the lead then ridden with more restrain than previous run and then just smashed them from 600m out and kept pulling away . If it was a mile he would have won by 10l... he never stopped
This horse is very very special ..... Variety club when he was at his best springs to mind .
I dont think i seen a horse that will go fetch him over a mile currently in Sa . To run him down will be very very difficult on what he showed to date. Only a superstar will go fetch him when he gets on his bicycle a long way out.
Yes , thats how good i think he is.

Judging by the 2/3rd horses I think Malmoos and whoever wins the Dingaans will give him a run for his money... a great Guineas shaping up. Hopefully they get a sponsor and can race for decent money or hopefully these horses can get out and go and show their metal and earn real money.
On his breeding he should stay the Derby trip- the mile should be no problem at all. A strong front runner that doesn’t stop is very hard to beat. Up till now the stable has rated them in this order- Rascallion/ Linebacker/Seeking the Stars. Probably in reverse order now, but the long run in could have an impact when we move to the summer course.
The time that Seeking the Stars ran yesterday was very quick - I would rate his performance a few lb better than the Concorde runners.
However, Malmoos ran a cracker considering he had an onerous road trip during the week and unfamiliar surroundings.
IMHO I believe Rascallion still the best from the stable. Came from last to run 3rd. Placed better and he would have made the favourite very uncomfortable. Easily the fastest finisher in that race.
Like to throw one horse into the mix Hoedspruit was also finishing the race quiet well coming from miles off whether will be good enough to trouble the top horses will have to wait n see
