Barzelona is not useless, but when he learns to ride in England, he will be a great jockey,
at the moment it's just enthusiasm rather than intellect.

F&G had off days last year yeah but on the big day he usually delivers. Interesting to see what connections say and where he heads next. I thought he showed speed lto. They might have a crack at a big 12f race.

With less rain than anticipated overnight the ground wasn't that testing, though a shower before the race ensured it was Good to soft.
Good use of team tactics by the Godolphin team here. Dettori had Colour vision in the box seat all the way
and  the horse showed a tremendous attitude to fight back.
Opinion Poll ran his race and is very consistent and Saddlers Rock kept on well.
Despite the ground being faster than when he won last year Fame and Glory looked like he didn't want to
know when push came to shove, and may have had enough.
Difficult to tell what would have happened if they'd gone a decent pace and from that point of view
the form of the race may be unreliable.
