Might see him at Doncaster in Sept,going for a classic,could see him running well even winning,if he does go I reckon he would beat Midas Touch.A nice prospect for next years Cup races.
Irish Derby anyone?
Surely MG is better than Frozen Fire & stable may employ same tactics of hectic pace

Be careful, soldieroffortune will be in full maturbatory mode in 2 mis when he sees this thread, signed (johnn).
Good shout ELG would probably be a good type for that race.
Can run in both the St Leger and Melbourne Cup like Mahler did.
Northern Hemphispehere 3 year olds get a hefty weight allowance even though he'll be knocking on 4 come November.

Would have to be a really weak race for a horse of this quality to win the Irish Derby.
O'Brien has 34 entered - more that half the field - so he's got a good chance of winning it!

He is a good type for a Melbourne Cup but is O'Brien likely to come back to Aus after the hiding he copped over what happened last time?
Beautifully bred colt this fellow by Galileo out of a Mark Of Esteem mare. He looked terrific in the parade ring there at Ascot and his attitude and ability were there for all to see in the race itself.
Irrespective of what he achieves at 3 he'll make up into a 4YO of the very highest quality.

Remember last year at Dec'foal sales the Duke of Bedford paid a fortune for M.Glinkas full sister,because he thought he was going to be a derby horse.........the foal looks VERY expensive now!
MIKHAIL GLINKA, who was as short as 8-1 with Bet365 for the Ladbrokes St Leger on September 11 will not be heading to Doncaster for the Classic.

The Queen's Vase winner, who was recently sold out of Aidan O'Brien's Ballydoyle yard, was the most notable absentee from the 42 entries. Other leading ante-post fancies, Coordinated Cut, who was as short as 12-1 with PaddyPower and Totesport and Berling, who was a 14-1 chance with Totesport, are also missing.
Dual Oaks winner Snow Fairy could bid to give trainer Ed Dunlop a first win in the race after she complemented her Group 1 Investec Oaks triumph at Epsom in June with a stunning eight-length victory in theDarley Irish Oaks at the Curragh on Sunday. The last filly to add the St Leger to that Classic double was User Friendly in 1992.
Cape Blanco, among 12 Irish-trained entries and one of 11 in the care of O'Brien, clinched the Group 1 Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby having previously defeated Investec Derby winner Workforce in the Group 2 Dante Stakes at York in May.

Aidan O'Brien: strong entry
PICTURE: Edward Whitaker
Alongside Cape Blanco, the typically strong Ballydoyle contingent also includes last season's champion juvenile colt St Nicholas Abbey, whose biggest victory came last October at Doncaster in the Group 1 Racing Post Trophy. O'Brien's entry also includes Irish Derby runner-up Midas Touch, Derby second At First Sight and Jumeirah Dewhurst Stakes second Fencing Master.
The Jeremy Noseda-trained Theology, second behind Mikhail Glinka at Royal Ascot is on course for the race. Harry Herbert, manager director of owners Highclere Thoroughbred Racing, said: "Theology has come out of the Queen's Vase very well. It was a tough race and agony for horse, jockey and everyone concerned that he just lost out by a nostril.
"He is in good form now and Jeremy has been training him for Glorious Goodwood next week, either to run in the Gordon Stakes or the Goodwood Cup.
"We want to have a good look at those Goodwood races before we decide which one he runs in. We are hopeful that he will then continue to improve and the Ladbrokes St Leger will certainly be a target."
David Williams of Ladbrokes said: "The decision to put the closing date of the race back three weeks has certainly paid dividends by handing connections more time to consider if they have a Ladbrokes St Leger contender on their hands.
"We are naturally delighted to see such strength in depth among the entries for the 2010 Ladbrokes St Leger with several Classic winners among the possible starters on September 11."
Rewilding how far
