He'll be gone a furlong before the rest have cleared the stalls.
Agreed btw.

Gonna be 1.6 after a furlong innit

The horse that finished second won by 10 lengths at Churchill Downs next time out

Dats not on de RP website

Well i look at the 2nd fav and it shows how poor a race this is imo- back now lay i/r at 1.3

Ridden by Elvis ......... just dont sound right

Was 12 lengths actually! No idea on the level of that form though

Elvis :) fine jockey...rode precious passion in that united nations g1 at monmouth...extraordinary race. youtube that.

U like this won ELG?

Ive got the same plan as you mate...back to lay. I think they are going to try and win the race in the first furlong.

I like Nobles Promise a lot and the won on Saturday...Kinsale Ocean....he's a very good horse.

I'll never forget Jealous Again flashing past me 3 furlongs out in the Queen Mary, turned to my mate and said 'that's pi$$ed up'. Was unbelievable how much more forward she was that the other (relative) light weight fillies.

Here's Metropolitan Man's win at Keeneland:

This horse has worked like a machine since day one every work a bullet! Trainer is joint owner and the only one he brought over in the end tells you a lot aswell because he had a few nice times especially the filly he was talkin of running in the Coventry.
I would be very shocked if he gets beat and I wouldnt be surprised if he does the double either!

Im on GL whatever way your playin :)

Trainer has said his horses want it like a road to be at their best. This is a 4f horse who wants super-fast ground. On genuine good ground over 5f I can see him falling into a hole about a furlong from home and he has to be a huge lay at the ridiculously short price for me.

Elvis in action....

Jealous Again was simply amazing last year - she was just streets clear of them, easily the most impressive performance of Ascot 2009.

This horse could be anything on turf, with a jockey who has never ridden Ascot I believe, and it only goes 4f110 as far as we know.

Absolutely anything could happen here, and the back to lay merchants are going to be the only i/r in the race.

I'll tell you what though, if it does fall in a hole after 4f and doesn't place, the Placepot will pay a forune as this will be a lot of people's banker.

I can't really make much of it. Surely guesswork. A couple won last year, but the 'big' Wesley Ward hope, Yogaroo, blew out badly. Betting without the fav seems to be the way to go on this one in my view...

Wasn't it Aegean or something like that who was meant to be his best?

I have a suspicious mind about the jockey

Aegean was his best Ben but she didn't adapt too well to the change in routine - flights, training in Newmarket etc.  Jealous Again settled in better.  The formbook shows that Aegean beat Jealous Again on Oaks night in 2009 when they both contested a lovely Graded Stakes at Churchill.

my worry would have been dead ground, but after time of the first it looks very quick.
Will bolt up.
The opposition looks pretty dire.

Equiano just made all so it's looking good for MM.

lol Win Only

I need this to top off a great first day..Bring on the american machine..

Need this to go 1.5 i/r and i'l be a happy camper

Level on de day only if it dont

Everyone has de same idea with this won


Prob gonna miss de break after al de fuss

Wat a donkey

Shockin :(

Dire.

cant add anymore to that imo...

I warned you all

what a sulk...elvis reckons the horse didnt try whatsoever :o

Connection were interviewed before the race. They looked like dour faced bastarts. I wasn't touching this horse as velasquez stayed at home.
