Much like Kingman over here he was very impressive. The last Derby runner Dermot Weld had that I remember was Casual Conquest which placed 3rd. Not sureIt's at this time of year when horses grow if I remember correctly. Horses that haven't yet filled their frame will grow at this time of the year. At that time some trainers back off and allow them to grow because they are weakened.

So do you think it's possible with Free Eagle being weak that he may have needed more time to get over his first run?https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30063651/free-eagle?post_id=535369095#535369095Thanks for those paddock views lingbleed, I always find that stuff very useful.

Under the circumstances I thought he did well to come from the back, but I have no idea how good he really is.https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30063651/free-eagle?post_id=535368985#535368985I'm sure we'd all agree on this that the time was very poor, this was due to the farcical early pace and no reflection on Agena's ability.

He never even bothered taking either of his hands off the reins to even wave his stick at Free Eagle.If you didn't know better, it looked more like a training ground gahttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30063651/free-eagle?post_id=535368023#535368023thought it was odd that Smullen never at any stage was going to pick up the whip?
