Irish 2000G (25th May)

great stuff bungle

So insightful.

So insightful.

It's a wind-up .

Like the look of DECRYPT EW @ 12s.

Like others on here i am not convinced by the strength of either fav. Will they both turn up ?

TOO DARN HOT didnt look as if he had grown at all to me when he ran in the dante and just how strong is that form anyway ?

The race will be controlled by AOB's horses,"team tactics" will be used as there's no rules against sheer manipulation of a race.

Yes, that is expected. But, Dettori is wise to that unlike Moore (no Plan B jockey); Coolmore tried on numerous occasions eg Stradivarius in the Long Distance Cup.

good luck with decrypt j henry a bit of a dark un that one .jockey confident he will stay the mile my kind of horse he interests me .also like the price will have a more in depth look .

Loath to go against Magna after his comfy 2000gns win, but until I see diff as 3yos, I have to fav TDH, even with a less than ideal prep for this 2day?? A small interest at 3.25 on here. Gd luck with your bets lads.

I have nothing between Magna Grecia and Too Darn Hot . No bet for me .

Oh well, that did not go according to the general consensus: Pheonix Of Spain (PoS) a horse with exposed form winning and beating Magna Grecia (MG) and Too Darn Hot (TDH) his conquerors in the Racing Post and Champagne Stakes respectively. If only beating TDH who'd a hard race after an interrupted prep in the Dante just 9 days ago post an injury one could understand, but beating MG too the emphatic winner at Newmarket I'd have my reservation about the validity of his win.I believe MG did not run to form and/or this race came too soon post his Newmarket victory on 4th May. And, PoS is fresher than any of these two horses as this was his 1st race of the season.

The St James's Palace is over 3 weeks away; 4/1 and 6/1 for TDH and MG respectively are stonking value if one is unconvinced about today, and still a believer of TDH and MG; PoS at 5/2 (best, as short as 6/4) is an over-reaction, I firmly believe.

It's horse racing, and more surprised results will happen in the near future.

I saw a replay of the race yesterday and agree with John W Henry's comment about Too Darn Hot. He looked tiny next to the winner.
