Jesus F C ... She has a 6 inch laceration on her offside cheek !!?? ... you can't see it in any of the photos but that's what AO'B was pointing out,
She burst a couple of blood vessels in her nearside nostril which is nothing, Obviously evidence of an incident is visible from the laceration between the nostrils. A Bleeder !!?? ... what are you guys smoking !? ... Was she on Lasix in the Fillies' Mile / 1000 G Romp . The filly is a machine. |

Wow ffs, what you getting on your high horse for-‘Jesus F C ... She has a 6 inch laceration on her offside cheek !!?? ... you can't see it in any of the photos …Obviously evidence of an incident is visible from the laceration between the nostrils.’
Offside? = the side of a vehicle furthest from the kerb. Is that the side near the running rail (1) on the far side or the stands side (2)? Calm down, take three deep breaths and have a peruse my dear fellow.

Madhu,
'offside' and 'nearside' are terms used in equine anatomy to describe the rhs and lhs of a horse (as they face forward). It's very standard convention Anyway, I don't accredit Minding's reversal on that ground to anything but the ground, so it's really irrelevant. But the 'hole you could put your fist through' as it was described was supposedly on the offside, the Guardian photo was of the nearside, That's all. Interesting to see (as I expected) that from the other side there's nothing much there, because if there was she wouldn't be out since Tue !! So, look, everybody knows Aidan uses any excuse to preserve the rep of the horses because of the breeders he represents - any |

By:
Minding's task has just become a whole lot easier now that Ballydoyle has been withdrawn with the latter being aimed at the Prix Diane (French Oaks) or Coronation Stakes, all being well.

By:
trainer in his position, (building up Sires for Coolmore) would do likewise,
I think everyone knows how to discount his hype by now. |

wohooooo

By:
Why did Ballydoyle come out now !? ... 5 day dec is Mon ? I expected this, but am surprised by the timing...
Is it because of the French rule about declaring for two races ? |
|
By:
I don't know - I guess they are v bullish on Minding and want to put down a marker to that effect, maybe cut the field size, stop trainers 'having a go' against a weakened fav ...
It's a strong statement of intent - Ballydoyle being such an excellent backup |

By:
The Confirmation/Supplementary Stage for the Oaks is tomorrow 28th May.

|
By:
I think Coolmore running five is plainly strategic eg to facilitate a proper pace, minimise possible dangers and maximise chances of winning should the stamina of Minding come up short; Even Song, Seventh Heaven and Somehow, the last two mentioned, both winners of their trials could improve and win in their own right.

Did anyone hear Lydia on RacingUk post Oaks race say Minding would be rested and not go to the Irish Oaks but Even Song would instead?
