Dewhurst 2011

just looking at the amount of entries AOB has compared to Cecil and it just makes you realise what a formiddable outfit Coolmore are.

PCH is very sweet on his Doncaster winner Al Khan.

Interesting that Mick Channon has entered Samitar for the Dewhurst (the only filly among the 92 entries).

I was suprised to see how few entries there are from Ballydoyle [;)]

Henry also has Wrotham Heath in the Dewhurst owned by Abdulla as are the other 3 above, has 10 entered in the Royal Lodge, entries out last week and 7 entered in the Fillies mile. Has 70+ 2yo's Dr Yes (Niarchos) & Touch Gold (Al Nayhan) are very well thought of (both entered in the Royal Lodge), Noble Mission (Frankel's brother) should be debuting in about 2-3 weeks.

If Noble Mission is half as good as his big brother we have the Guineas winner already before he's even ran

Let's hope it's not another Denman/Silverburn scenario

FFT, even if he is only as half as good may still be good enough to win the Dewhurst but Stipulate could be better.

Noble Mission has every chance of being a good Group 1 horse but its asking a lot of him to be another Classic winner but who knows.

AOB enters everything especially lead horses to gauge how good the others at home are.

I like to see more racing into these horse's half the field haven't even run

O'Gorman has since come out of Al Khan's race and won well, so has a Meehan horse. It was a mazing the price he went off at on his debut for a horse so well thought of, I used to have a bit of a contact in the PCH yard and I remember seeing the likes of mia's Boy smashed into on debut at Newmarket, sign of the times I suppose, He seems to have lost his confidence, a very talented trainer.

lol Silverburn.

Harbour Watch was good but that was a crap race full of exposed horses. He did what he had to do. Again heading for the Middle Park and 2nd rate 2yr old Group 1 event imo.

Cecil Horse's for me are the English Classic challenge for next year. I don't rate the Noseda's or the Meehans. Bell can get a good one and Stoute seems to have too much backbentbackward type's. Godolphin under Zarooni could have a few good ones...he is a proper trainer but alas overworked Dubai Prince but Aidan ruined a few as-well so we all give him the benefit of the doubt.

I like the look of Tibet purely because he is a Juddmonte sired Coolmore Family related to Zulu Chief( the immensely talented horse who went the wrong way).

I was at Donny & Al Khan won well, but in the pre parade & parade ring he had 3 back legs. Very badly behaved , very randy horse , wont be able to get away with that in better company but would be a laugh if it did

huge fan of pch. great trainer in my opinion. will al khan stay a mile?

I love PCH to get a good won again.

He had a decent one that won a maiden by 20l by HRE but was terrible at the july meeting. Maybe another false dawn

That o Brien yoke that won tonight was impressive considering he was a green thing.
