I had a dream that Moonlight Magic won. Last time that happened Snow Knight won at fifties. Hope it wasn't a nightmare.

supplementing Humphrey the biggest waste of money ever
Moonlight Magic should be fav imo , will win

Idaho
Im my opinion, the best bred horse in the field
Been following it since a 2yo and sure he will stay this.
Brother to Highland Reel
Massively underrated at 20s+ (thank the lord)

Ulysses first choice with the minimum on Massaat because he is clear top on RPR. Port Douglas still the best O'Brien runner imo.
USAR ew 4 places was my bet a couple days ago...sticking with it in what is a quite an open affair.
Moonlight Magic is my fancy also themightymac ,lets hope we get it right .
Backed Port Douglas at the price,4 lb better off with US Army.Saver on classy but free running Massaat
.
Looks like Ballydoyle favour US Army so gotta respect it.
AOB could have first three home.
Bet a Comb Trifecta US Army/P Douglas/Deauville

front 2 in the market very relaxed in the parade and going down.
Cloth of Stars but for the negative reason that the British and Irish runners look much of a muchness. Cloth of Stars was impressive in the Greffulhe. How that compares with the home form, I don't know.
US ARMY RANGER 6pts win
Across The Stars 2pts e/w 4 places
Port DOUGLAS 1PT win

I might have backed Deauville but I can't have Jamie Spencer at Epsom.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Red Verdon ran well considering its route.

Clare Balding sure has some really perculier dreams.....horses and donkies
Yes, well done winners. First of many classic winners for Sea The Stars perhaps. Going away in the last 100 yards so no hard luck stories imo.
well done HZ backers...thought the Ranger had that...reminded me Peeping Fawn vs Light Shift
I thought the fav was going to go past, thankfully it didn't. Love those aga khan colours.

indeed, to think some on here cramped Sea the Stars. Derby winner and Derby winning sire now.
Well done winners,great to see a Derby win for a son of a wonderful horse.Like his Dad just does enough!!!!
Won ante- post had biggish place only bets on US Army Ranger. However blew all the "winnings" on the day, on backing the
horse for the win. Ryan could have had it a bit nearer, however, got there to win the race, and Harzand pulled out more,
gutted....best horse won. WD Harzand backers.

Draw 1 had shocking stat pre-race and so it proved again
Across The Stars should have finished 13th on RPR ratings so did slightly better than expected in 10th. Winner was second top behind Massaat who obviously didn't stay so a very good result for RPR although I didn't back it.
The full story of how close Harzand came to not running is a real cracker - this is the story today from sl
"It was pretty chaotic," relates Weld at the press conference. "He was pretty unlikely to run. When the box bringing him to the airport turned, he just stood on his own foot and pulled a plate off and drew blood.
When he got to the stable this morning and I saw him, he was very sore. We put him on ice for the next four hours. But he didn't damage the plate, it wasn't buckled, the plate came off clean and that was important. I called on Jim Reilly, Jim Bolger's vet, and he was able to put the plate back on very, very gently. I watched him do it and so did the track veterinarian. It was such a careful process. Then he was back in ice.
At 2.20, his Highness was due to leave for the races, so we had to make the decision at 2pm. At five minutes to two, we made the decision, although I was watching very carefully as Pat rode him to post as I told him it had to be his call and that if wasn't happy in any way, he had to make that decision."

:30 quite simple we now have two bets as the horse that spli a plate is runninng so Harzand is the lay of the day. im full banking him.i dont know what the plate is but sounds like its part of his foot? well what kind of mug backs a three footed horse at 10-1. huge lay.
