Vadeni is a good horse. I do not think he's as good as Almanzor though. Irish Champion Stakes next, I reckoned.

Happy to see Vadeni winning, but boy it was a lucky collect, Mishriff an unlucky loser for sure.

Soumillon said Valdeni stumbled 100 yds from the line and became unbalanced .

Rouget has ducked a duel with Baaeed in The Juddemonte. And, I do not blame him post today. Baaeed is a sweet traveller, and when the turbo button is pressed, he'd be gone - no catching him for him.
Just ask Mr Gosden and Palace Pier; Vadeni is no Palace Pier or Almanzor either. |

Is Almanzor your favourite horse of all time imp?

By:
I do not think so. I think it's because I remember Almanzor as I was more interested in horseracing then. The era of Triptich, In The Grove, Reference Point, Slip Anchor, etc, I cannot recollect too much; tick-tack era not SIS then, I believe.
Almanzor beat some very good horses in Minding, Found and others. Also, he was trained by Rouget (under-rated then but focus and never doubly declare his stars). Also, he was a very good betting prospect (antepost) that delivered every time for me. |

Great read Figgis - shame about the man on top! The horse should have won imo.

Yes LH. Not much he could do earlier on, but to continue to go for a non-existent gap, for at least a third time, when Soumillon was opening the door for him with still about 2f to run was poor. Mishriff's price has now shortened for York but I want to see him in the KG.
