A 50/1 shot improves 41 lengths but its ok connections said it was showing that form at home!

games about as straight as FIFA

Untouchables.

Horse very unlucky in the States, drawn on the wrong side of the track at HQ and a nice run last time out. Should not have been 120/1 on here.

To be fair whenever an outsider wins how many trainers say that they're shocked? They all give the line about it showing the right signs at home that week etc.

your right should have been 520

try my best..........backed in both quineas

it*

No surprise to Eddie the Shoe, he tipped it before the race at 100/1.

Fancied her for the Guineas myself Cardiff and backed her at big odds to no avail. Had the grand sum of £6 on her today as the price was too tempting to miss. Not after timing honest.

i believe you

Listen it was trying all the way in the 1000, just hadn't the stamina to last the mile.

Thought the Fav ran a great race despite not being settled prior to the race

Nobody denies a horse improving but improving so much that it wins a classic...............

when emma interviewed o brien..........she said he had 3 then talked about the other 2 and never talked about the winner

watched it again

so painful

He's always spoken highly of Qualify hasn't he Cardiff.

It was racing over 4F than before, you do understand?

try ......... she never asked him

No she didn't. Just saw the rerun

Tony Calvin tipped it last week 100/1

Big Issue - Fully aware it was up 4 furlongs in trip but so was the horse that beat it 41 lengths last time and she has stayed perfectly well too. So 41 lengths of improvement is not explained by the step up in trip.

Happy days the owner keeps his horses on the farm I work on and yes I backed her at Newmarket no bet today but can look forward to her babies

As the owner wasn't at all surprised that it improved 41 lengths I am surprised he didn't share his inside information with your farm.

He is not a betting man and why should it be all about betting

The Racing Post say the Epsom stewards wanted to speak to Aidan O'Brien but he had flown home to Ireland.
They wanted to ask him why he was still saddling Together Forever when the jockeys were told to mount.
Can anyone think of anything else they should ask Aidan?  Did the stewards not declare that they are wearing blinkers?

The Epsom saddling blocks and paddock are a disgrace for our flagship event. Saddles the horses himself in the paddock area rather than doing it in the sheds that Epsom offer. Imo it really is a poor racecourse. Would rather go watch racing at Pontefract than go again to this hole. Probably got a bit behind with him having the 3 runners and Together Forever playing up a bit

layboy......was only beat just over 7 and a bit lengths in ireland .........think AFTER the race think aiden seemed to imply the horse was given too much to do

Agree Cardiffc just such a buzz for the owner and have her here in the farm in the future

In a nutshell.............We all have to eat....

You do not think that the beast was expected to win...

At 50/1 the mafia left it untouched..

Colm and Ryan whispering in the jocks room before the race ,both look a little startled when the C4 camera panned to them....

Now Colm, I am gonna hit the front about a furlong and a half out and my horse will idle a bit. Don't worry about the boss's other two, we've arranged for the Harrington horse to take them out.........and don't whatever you do play second or third fiddle here, the boys know and you're here to win.

That's the jist of it Blackbarn were you in on it...............

Surely you are not taking the "rise" out of me Ladyboy.

If you are bring it on...

11kv - I have forgotten who is being serious here  My post was and elementary attempt at humour aimed merely to illustrate the ridiculous irrelevance of your 20.39 post.

I believe Layboy is referring to a race in Ireland a few weeks ago............

Wouldn't it have been better for the owners of the 2nd to have had their 1000gns winner also win the Oaks, rather than have a horse owned by someone else but trained by their main trainer do so?

If the trainer of the winner supposedly knew the score all along, what kind of trainer stitches up his main employers, as well as his own son so as not to put him on the winner that he apparently knew was going to win all along? I'd have thought too that Aidan O'Brien's employers would have liked to have known the score so that they knew exactly where they stood with own runner, trained by his son-in-law of one of those owners too, who had a chance of a fillies classic double?

It was obviously a surprise to all of them and the jockey bookings alone should tell you that, assuming the winning owner left it up to the trainer to sort that out and apart from anything else, remind my what the winning distance was again? Did they really know it all to be able to be that precise?

had the winner as clear top pick

No HOMEFORTEA I was referring to the yards shock 25/1 Guineas winner that then went onto get beaten a total of 24 lengths in her next 2 outings, never again coming close to emulating her 9 length classic success.

Oh dear some very paranoid keyboard warriors on this forum.

Anyone who judges Qualify on her Newmarket form needs to reevaluate.

She ran much better in the Irish and looked every yard a middle distance horse. It`s just that no one expected this much improvement for the step up.

She was only rated 3lb lower than the 3rd. So in hindsight obviously the price was far too high.
