The fav is far too short. I think he'll drift if rain arrives; Lambourn winning is good for the National Hunt (not Flat).

think it would have run if their filly had won yesterday - 2 guineas winners both beaten at epsom would have been hard to take

If you look at Tennessee Stud's race record, it looks like they have been struggling to find races long enough for him:
He started out at 8.5f in August, then won his maiden at 9f. Won a 3 runner group 1 (2yo) at 1m2f, heavy (still only in Oct). Looks like he will need every yard of today's trip. If it doesn't work out for him today, his future could include Melbourne Cup (one of Joseph's favourites) or Ascot Gold Cup. But I expect a good run today against some dubious stayers. |

MIDAK could improve and win for Aga Khan connections so is the EW bet. DELACROIX is my saver.

That was sore - Euro 100 at 77 (adjusted for NR) on Lazy Griff.

Happy with my two NEW GROUND and TENNEESSE STUD both too far back but backed EW

I couldn’t have Lambourn as said but don’t think he’s the best there today.
Couldn’t make up the ground. |

Didn’t see any mention of that before the race!

And no one can think that that result would be the same if all in a smaller group. Got the run of the race on the front.

To borrow a quaote from Michael Kinanne after a previous Derby "they were all strun out like Brown's cows".No excuses for any imo. The winner strung them out and they couldn't get to him. |

Fav ran a strange race but no excuse in the end. The winner not the biggest shock but not one I could've backed, so well done winners. He looks more like a Harzand than one I can see winning big events, but I've underrated him this far, so you never know.

Aiden leading him wasn’t odd was it

Anyone else seen him do that ever?

In May I got an e-mail from Australia for someone I correspond with about pedigrees.
He suggested Lambourn at 24s for the Derby and I said I did not like his chances. ![]() I hope he ignored me and bet the horse. ![]() |

I am delighted for winning jockey Wayne Lordan as he had a bad fall in the Irish Derby in July 2023.
... unshipped by San Antonio half a mile from home at the Curragh, which sent him crashing to the ground and left him knocked out with fractures to his legs and elbow, as well as a nasty laceration to his arm. San Antonio was fatally injured in the incident. |
|
By:
Thank goodness I did not lay the winner. I nearly did until I saw where Delacroix was at the start. I thought Lambourn was doing the donkey work for Delacroix.
I'm so pleased for Lordan. A likeable chap and a very popular jockey in the changing room. |

The fav slow as a boat. The punter who had 8k on at 2s must have come out of the local asylum.

Excuse the misposts was trying to fill in the record for Delacroix after the Derby trial run.
2025 Delacroix won by 2 3/4L G - 2m 10.59s 9/19 @ Epsom 2024 Los Angles won by 1L gd/gf - 2m 6.82s 3/16 @ Epsom 2023 Stone Age won by 5 1/2L. gd - 2m 8.25s 6/17 @ Epsom 2021 Bolshoi Ballet won by 6L g/gy - 2m 7.37s 7/11 @ Epsom 2019 Broome Won by 2 1/2 G/y - 2m 9.18s 4/13 @ Epsom I’m no student of times but that looked so iffy. Be something to add to next year. Now back to the bar and admit I’d thrown my ticket at the tv on the way to post for New Ground! more hot headed than my ex French bird! ![]() ![]() |

He did! Aiden led it - 8 letters - all aligned!
Just to think the jockey could have had a Derby and Oaks double! Thanks AT uncanny stat that! |

By:
Figgis I’d be interested to know how you saw this time wise? Visually I thought that they went quite slow, certainly not fast and he was able to nick a couple of lengths turning.

By:
Does anyone think a lot of winners will come out from this?
|
|
By:
Delashay, a below average time performance. The reason I mentioned Harzand is because I have him on the same figure. Not the worst winning performance in recent years, I have Wings Of Eagles and Ruler Of The World slightly below him. The question now is was that an improved performance he's going to repeat? Or just a one off, like Serpentine, where the horse just ran the race of his life from the front. Either way I can't see him winning much more than an Irish Derby.

Thanks Figgis I tend to agree with your thoughts and can place him now in line through the past winners that you’ve mentioned.
He definitely came forwards from Chester and there is the key, he was given more time. I was looking at the days since last race and he was there along with New Ground having had a good break. Don’t believe that Delacroix was running on his merits and was ridden how I expected the Lion to be. O’Brien leading him in the parade in front of the stands really was a sit up and notice moment. Can’t help think Whirl surprised them yesterday and that today was meant to be his day. Seemed like plenty of people knew. Was being tipped ew with the rain thought to fall but he didn’t need it. The draw also was low to middle and lucky number 10! Those high done well to get involved. |

Impossible you said that Ruling Court was going to make Fuekd Of Gold a better price in the SJP, his re routing is interesting as he’s now second fav.
I don’t know if Chazza has decided that it’s a no go for Shadow of Light? But they’ve pushed out Henri Mattisse on the back of it. Strangely the French form is now looking strong and I’d be with that to shine. |

Field Of Gold
Starts 7 Wins 4 2nd 1 3rd 1 Henri Mattisse Starts 8 Wins 6 2nd 1 3rd 0 Both unplaced in the Lagadere, real rain would be a worry for the latter but 4/5 vs 4/1 with his French Guineas form having been franked in the PDJC. No one expected Rulling Court to be anywhere today and this isn’t an ideal prep. |
