After the French Derby yesterday, we were left with the same feeling of disappointment as we were after The Oaks on Friday.  Again, we had the best horse in the race, but had no luck whatsoever in-running.  Something appeared to go amiss with Tifongo, and when Barzalona started pulling him up, he clattered through the runners on the inside rail.  This impact left Imperial Monarch detatched at the back of the field some 4 lengths.  Called on to close he picked up in the home straight and powered home.  Astonishing effort to get up to finish sixth or seventh, but clearly if he was given a clear run, he would have won the race.

Despite finishing yesterday with a small loss, it was still a wonderful day's racing.  Camelot is a mignificent 3yo, and his performance in The Derby was breathtaking to watch.  He certainly merited the maximum 5pt bet.

It's the French Derby today, and for me it's between the front two in the market.  Camelot's performance yesterday boosts the performance of French Fifteen in The Guineas, where he strode away from the field with winner, but there are question marks over stamina in the breeding.  That's why I'm siding with Imperial Monarch.  He was so impressive in the mud at the Sandown Classic Trial over this distance, where he took the widest possible course throughout, covering much more distance than the others, but still winning well.

Everything I said yesterday about The Oaks still holds true.  For me The Fugue was clearly the best horse in the race, but was left with a next to impossible task after the first half mile, and the beating she took from all the bumping.  She was also forced to come wide around Tattenham Corner, it was an astonishing feat for her to get up to within 3/4 of a length from the winner at the line.  She was absolutely luckless, but will win again for us in a less challenging course.
Hopefully some of you took my thoughts on board about Shirroco Star, she ran a blinder and proved to be the each way value bet, as I'd suggested.
Gatewood was such an impressive winner yesterday, and got us the profit for the day.  With a brilliant back to front ride from Buick in the home straight, he looked to have plenty in hand at the end, and could win over 1m4f next out.

The Derby today, and I have to say simply that, given the small field should mean we don't see any of the bumping we had yesterday, I don't see any trouble for Camelot.  I don't often give odds on as my selections, but I will, at times, make exceptions for outstanding horses.  If you don't fancy punting Camelot at the price, I'd suggest Bonfire in betting w/o the favourite.

Opinion Poll showed his class yesterday, and landed us a good 3pt bet. 
The Oaks today, in the first day at Epsom, and I firmly believe The Fugue is the standout in the race.  Anyone looking for a value each way bet, I think Shirocco Star is over priced at 16/1.  I've decided against having a bet on her though, as she would need one of the top 3 in the market to underperform to land a blow.  I do think she's the next best horse in the field though, so value at 16/1.
