Hi James
Can you start you 2025 1000 Guineas thread when you get chance please?
And does anyone else like the look of Bedtime Story?
She is by Frankel out of Mecca’s Angel so could arguably be the best bred filly on the planet.
She won unexpectedly first time out in some style.
She is quite tall but as yet unfurnished and scope to end up quite good.
The current miserable odds for the 2025 1000 Guineas will become even more stingy if she wins the Chesham Stakes.

The Juddmonte filly by Kodiac trained by G Lyons ridden by CT Keane was quite impressive also. Probably see her again Curragh Derby weekend. Interesting. Could meet your Bedtime Story there.
Was a monster this is the only one Jay make no mistake.
Not wishing to say
“I told you so”.
But I did rather.
Discussions about the 1000 Guineas now academic more or less.
Bedtime a story maybe ran 116 maybe more. Won easing down by 10 lengths in the same style his Dad won the Queen Anne all those years ago.
Plenty of scope to progress, Bedtime Story looks an utter monster.
Looking sure to get a mile, relaxed way of running, nimble enough for Newmarket, and probably unbeatable.
3/1 looks pretty skinny for the 1000 Guineas and it’s 11 months away. But she look likely to go odds on when she slaughters the next sacrificial lambs lined up against her.
An incredible pedigree by the Greatest - Frankel, out of a Nunthorpe winner.

My take on it from the time aspect is it was very good, in the Gp1 bracket, good enough to win some Guineas, but no more than that. Very unusual for a filly to run as fast as that over 7f at this stage of the season. It could possible be the best I've seen, at the moment I can't think of another one, but there aren't too many opportunities beforehand in the calendar.
In comparison with O'Briens best 2yo filly of last year, Opera Singer, I have Bedtime Story 1lb behind. Many would credit Bedtime Story as the better achievement as hers was achieved in June, whereas we had to wait until October for Opera Singer's best effort. That's fair enough, maybe Bedtime Story will be capable of even better as the season progresses. However, personally I've never subscribed to the theory that all 2yos progress at the same rate, so I'd rather wait until I actually see it.
It's not just about being good enough now, they need to be as good come Guineas day. We've seen this year with Opera Singer that things don't always go smoothly. Opera Singer had 7 months to get there, this filly has nearly 9 months to go and more racing to do. In my view, if today is as good as Bedtime Story gets she would go very close to winning an average Guineas. But she'll need to improve more to actually be as exceptional as she looked today.
Well done on the early call, cryoftruth. As you say, she will probably be racing against vastly inferior fillies in the near future. I think today's performance could possibly even carry her through to winning something like the Moyglare if nothing else decent appears. She's got some way to go though before she can be classed as something out of the ordinary Gp1 fillies.

I keep thinking of the sublime Herbie Hancock track: Tell me a bedtime story.
