16 runners? Poss traffic probs for Power, hope not.
At least 3 of these should not be in here, way out of there depth & will prob get in the way of the better horses. Power has a gd post in 5, lets hope young Joe does not drop him back to far and waste the draw. |

Decided to play Dragon Pulse on the basis he has half a length to make up on the Fav from their 2yo days and I rate Dezangles a better flat trainer than the former yard. Plenty of people wanted this horse to run at HQ after his comeback win but he reportedly had issues in the French Guineas. At 12/1, bigger here, with Fran Berry back on board i'll give him a crack. gl!
  If Most Improved wins i'll feel really,really sick.   |

Will like the g/s ground (Dragon Pulse) had a bit on the place market on here 4.7.
But he is held by Power on 2yo form, backed Power a few days ago at 5.0, hope the ground is near good for him, should still be ok on g/s. |

I think Power is a cracking bet at around 7/2. He's no world beater but he's good enough to take an average renewal of this race. For me, he was a bit below par in the Dewhurst, but his best 2yo form/times puts him ahead of anything this lot have even done as 3yos. The Irish 2,000 win showed he's trained on, where despite the pacemaker tearing off it wasn't a particularly fast run race overall. I reckon a faster run race would've proved he was more superior than the winning margin reflects.

5.4 for Power on here atm.

I think the drift is probably because of the ground, sint, as the soft ground was put up as an excuse for his run in the Guineas. I'd say it was more because he wasn't fit. His best form in Ireland last year was with give in the ground and, in any case, the ground today is unlikely to be as soft as it was for the Guineas.

Haven't had a strong bet in the race, but actually backed each of the Gosden horses, main hope is Fencing

A shame about The Nile, wd Most Improved backers, a useless run from my bet.

What happended with Power? Did he just run a shocker or was he interfered with?
Most Improved bites me on the arse big time. |

By:
Was badly hampered wen the nile broke down sint, no chance after

By:
Ok cheers BJG. At least he lives to fight another day.

part of the game innit. No bother.
whats annoying is when he missed the Guineas there were idiots on here saying he had no chance anyway, the usual assumptive nonsense etc. Clueless. |

Power isn't very big and I'd say we might just have seen the besy of him now, off to stud soon?
|
|
By:
He can't have had much of a race there, so I'd imagine he'll be off for the Prix Jean Prat, as that'd probably be his last chance of another gr 1, unless they send him stateside

To me, Power looked beaten before he was hampered!
|

By:
Agree with above, thought he was given a shocking ride
|
|
By:
Nothing to do with this thread, but last poster mentioned a bad ride, if you want to see a REALLY bad ride then view the ride on MAN OF ACTION in Cambridgeshire, the race before he came on the wide outside and got home easily, yet it never occurred to DETTORI to use a similar route, which is a straight 9 furlongs so no need to allow for bends and bunching up.

Coolmore must think Power is some horse was raced to pass the entire field in the home straight.
