See that Timepiece goes for the Fielden Stakes this week , and taken from the Racing Post website is the Cecil comment " if she wins well , we can always bring her back in trip ". must be a hint for the 1000Guineas.

thanx for that
|

By:
would be a good oaks trial running in guineas staying on from 2f out into 3rd/4th
|
|
By:
I'll be surprised if she runs in the Guineas. Having backed her for the Oaks, I'm obviously hoping she wins the Feilden Stakes, but I think she'd have to win it really impressively for Khalid Abdullah to consider running her in the Guineas. It will also depend, to some extent, on how Special Duty is shaping up at home, and on how Principal Role performs in the Nell Gwyn. I definitely wouldn't back her for the Guineas at this stage.

By:
What do you think about the fielden as a starting point for the oaks anyway Jamesp? Is it just experience before a crack at the musidora - that would be my guess.
|
|
By:
It leaves plenty of time to get another run into her before the Oaks - either the Guineas or, more likely, the Musidora or the Lingfield Oaks Trial.
|
|
By:
push she is flying at home , i think her price will collapse further after the fielden.
|
|
By:
i was hoping she would go for the lingfield trial obviously a little similar to epsom, and good experience for her, but hey,,,henry knows best, think il have a small ew interest for the guineas,,,just in case
|
|
By:
Thanks RUSSJR, just wondering , expect not many fillies run in the Feilen stakes,have any won the race ?
|
|
By:
im not sure push, i think Cecil has had the favourite in the same race the past 2 years (both beaten) . I think he has so many decent 3yo fillies that he trying to keep them apart.
|
|
By:
Agree with that Russ. It does seem Henry has several potential top class 3yo fillies
|
|
By:
Let's hope that's proved correct.
|
|
By:
And then you have Bullet Train to find a race for, Conditions event at newbury previously won by light shift, i think a lot of thought has gone into these entries and lets hope it pays off.

Any news on Aviate? She's the one I thought might be aimed at the Guineas, as she has a miler's pedigree.

Cecil on Aviate -RP Guide to Flat 2010
''Among the fillies,Aviate has done very well. She won her only start,at Kempton in November,and did it well. On breeding she shouldn't really get beyond a mile and a quarter.I've given her the 1,0000 Guineas entry and we'll see hoe she is progressing nearer the time of of the race'' End quote |

By:
Aviate goes for a trial in the Fred Darling. This is Henry's comment on her:
|

By:
On the Oaks at 14s and 12s ... let the Master of Fillies do his stuff. Some great memoris from the past, loves the Musidora does Our Enry must be next all going well.
|
|
By:

Ramruma unusually the Lingfield Oaks Trial ..... ouch had Snow Bride antepost though covered on Aliysa but got the race too late for punters.
|
|
By:
Watching brief for me.
|
|
By:
Also won the Lingfield trial with Midday and Lady Carla.
|
|
By:
strongest the stable has been for a long time , im looking forward to kithonia and principale role aswell
|
|
By:
Did she grow into a soft ground action through the winter or is it just me?! Shockin the amount of bumps she got, will beat that Rumoush if she shows up at Epsom.
|
|
By:
Winner looks rather decent imo, but you can safely forgive Timepiece's run , I think.
|
|
By:
Rumoush the better horse for sure, agree the Oaks trip may just give Timepiece the edge though.
|
|
By:
Dissapointing today , had the fav in the race the past 2 years aswell. She will step up on that for sure.
|
|
By:
Having backed her for the Oaks I wish I could share some of the enthusiasm some of you have shown. To me that was a very disappointing effort.
|
|
By:
Dark , the plan is the oaks , she will be spot on come the day.
|
|
By:
I have not backed her, just thought you could forgive the run.
I always thought the family, POT and Father Time, fell between 2 stalls in terms of trip. |
|
By:
Midday got beat on seasonal debut (Timepiece should have got 2nd like her) although that race was 10 days later at Epsom though, maybe they wanted to see if she was possibly a Guineas horse. Wonder who he'll send for that Epsom race though, got some good fillies this year, maybe he just has a better one. Kithonia or Principal Role maybe?
|
|
By:
She seemed a long striding, big filly to me, will she be suited by Epsom?
|
|
By:
The only reason 2day was disapointing was cause i was silly enough to back her! I have enough on her for the oaks to be gettin involved today and like russjr say's, the oaks is the long term plan, the fielden stks wasn't.
|
|
By:
Not sure, but I reckon Aviate could head for the Guineas.
|
|
By:
Twice Over was well beaten at this meeting last year, and went on to win the Champion Stakes.
|
|
By:
interesting comments, i was a little dissapointed, but,, the oaks is the target, the extra distance, the evperience of today, hopefully the neccessary improxement will come through on oaks day.
|
|
By:
Let's hope so Sariska Boy.
|
|
By:
still fav in most places , was unlucky not to place and was clearly not knocked about. probably turn up now in the conditions race at epsom.
