Rip Van Winkle

hope so ive had a few quid at 37 for pow,

No doubt about it the POW would be an easier race to win. I hope they go for it.

Wasn't a lot between Byword and Goldikova lto ;)

The two Frenchies definitely the ones to fear, b.

PoW looks a much weaker race - would make sense to go for this.

be very surprised if he runs him in the princess of wales. obrien normally likes to give them a run first if taking that route.

Got any stats, compared to the Queene Anne, to back that up, mp?

QA IMO

Now looks like bypassing the Eclipse. It's a real disappointment to see this horse apparently being used just to promote Galileo as a sire of speed. RVW was running on well at the end of last year's Derby and ran well in the Eclipse. He could have had a good career at middle distances IMO as well as at a mile.

Could it be he has not gone on from last year?Some don't.

Yes could be he's gone off - maybe they flung him in the Queen Anne in the hope his work at home was misleading.

Looked very poor the other day imo,I know its his first run but he looked moderate.

Could improve immeasurably for the run on the other hand.

have a feeling he's finished and we might not see him race again

Confirmed today he runs in the Sussex

LL in the Nassau

AOA In the Cup

Would be great to see this one come back to his best.
