Seamie won't either especially after the ride he gave him last time.

Probably as they all smashed on Cliffs like I did, sick as a pig right now.

By:

tobermory When: 03 Jun 17 16:42

harder to talk up as a superstar with the previous form

people will just say worst derby ever etc

By:

ElT When: 03 Jun 17 16:46

Yeah. That was likely his 6th string given the jockey bookings. Also looked like Venice Beach finished like 2nd last. Small reversal of form.

Far from happy when Moher got nabbed

Poor Beggy will probably be deported back to Australia. Seamie would have known better.

Time to retire Wings Of Eagles and let 2nd, 3rd and 4th boost the form

The winning jock didn't even want to win imo.

He's seen his stable mate in front of him is going to win (the one they want to win and was meant to win) and gone easy on his then realised he just had no choice but to go and win it.

That's what the aerial view shows me anyway.

Venice BEach backed into Evens IR when WOE coming with a run...white hat and pale pick hat do look very similar tbf.

That's what happens when you run 6.
If he knew his best horses better, and only ran them, there wouldn't be surprises!

Moher would have been the next Sea the Stars with as much pace as Dayjur. Nothing to talk up now.

Yep .If that race panned out the same in every detail except Wings of Eagles was not in it , then the hype about Moher would be through the roof . Now he can't hype Wings because it has the sort of profile of a horse that ends up rated about 118 and he can't hype Moher because it has lost to this thing

If I had just trained my 6th Derby winner I wouldn't be too happy either tbh.

Sick as a parrot. Started backing Cliffs before Christmas and down all rates 3 nice bets by my standards. Don't usually cheer then home but was a furlong out

you're a breeder 120,000 to spend Galileo or Frankel?

You're not going to get much of a go with Galileo for 120K though?

By:

you'll need to at least double that to get Galileo

By:

Studious_1 When: 03 Jun 17 17:26

Last time I heard it was 400 or maybe it was 500k....mate's Dad sent a mare to Galileo.

And if they don't like your mare you can keep your half million btw!

seamie would have know not to win on tha, he would have know not to beat the future stallion, take the winner out and the form looks solid

By:

quay_street When: 03 Jun 17 17:49

Commercially a disaster for Coolmore. Pour Moi was shuttling back and forth to Windsor Park Stud in NZ last year.

If that thing wins another race it is going to be the same or longer, so at best a career as a NH stallion.

No doubt, Wings of Eagles was meant to be a pacemaker and missed the break.

I would say his poor jockey was shocked to be taken into the race and to get his chance to gain the pinnacle of every jockeys career in the UK and Ireland. He quite naturally took it when it was presented.

Careless planning.
