What price Delegator come Saturday lunchtime? The last of the 3s went this morning.

He's surely way better than the rest of the field. Would be a Classic winner but for STS. Managed to win half fit the other day. Has his optimum distance, ground should be ok. And is a course winner already. Clear on the ratings.

Should be nearer even money surely?

On paper he looks  head and shoulders above the rest - ground and course are also perfect for him so other than a bad draw or bad luck in running he should win.

But it's never as easy as that is it?Sad

One run current season?
Maybe good enough. Won same race as Sleeping Indian who had just two races in 2006 race.

Fair point Pinza, but I'd say it means he would come into the race fresher than most, so not sure only one prior run is a negative.

never won back to back races,for a horse of his  ability does not win enough(imo) but as said this looks a pretty weakish G2(if you can get them.),if not to much rain about will play Red Jazz e/w

He's a favourite I want to take on. Must have had training problems and struggled to beat trees the last day.

im not sure tbh. Godolphin have a habit of giving a horse a prep in a listed/lesser  race and then plonking them into a group race for it to win. They did it a fews years back with a horse called Windsor Knot in the Darley Stakes.

I would fully expect Delegator to improve plenty for his reapperance run imo.

As I said the draw and luck in running (or maybe jockey error?) were as much to blame as anything.

ground was officially changed to GS before the first race as well. Personally I think the Draw played a big part as the first three home were all close to the rail..
