rarely a backer at short odds but struggling to find any negatives for cracksman, will like the ground and trip, the ganay form franked by rhododendron, hopefully yucatan will even help him with a pacemaking job.
main danger hawkbill will like the ground but is he better 10 furlongs?
idaho might have been a danger on fast ground, but can't see him winning with any give in the ground.

Really disappointed with the Oaks and Derby BUT I think we are going to see a horse in Cracksman who is going to become recognized as an all time great...hope so anyway
sometimes racing isn't about betting and enjoying the sport for just what it is and this is one of those occasions I think
Only danger imvho would be Hawkbill allowed a soft lead and then kick, like he did in Meydan. But on a line with Highland Reel Cracksman is a mile ahead of Hawkbill. A race to enjoy with a sfc on Cracksman & Hawkbill 
got it in a double with saxon warrior with a sensible stake;covers both angles
hoping cracksman wins by 4 plus l got 2 bets on distance over 3 and over 4 and love seeing great horses win like that, frankel not always a betting price but a joy to watch in full flow.
Not a penalty kick, and if it was they are often missed.
His form on the track is a short head win, and a 3rd.
And he is by Frankel.

It would take an Act Of God to get Cracksman beat surely?....I would be absolutely Gobsmacked even allowing for that Helter skelter Racetrack.
obviously a different race but a big horse struggling with the track- could be a bad omen for saxon warrior tomorrow.
That said...tremendous effort to run down the 2nd. A lesser horse would not have done that.
20/1 In running on here in his victorious Epsom race, virtually one year ago
he's had a hard enough race there...
Not ideal with Royal Ascot only three weeks away (I know there are no easy Group 1s).

never went on the day,when it kicked the divot on the corner jarring his stride i thought the game was up,class horse to chase down the winner.
that was a better performance than most would give credit for,it showed him to be an exceptional racehorse.
cue blokes dipping into nostalgia about horses from 60 years ago...turn it in please
next youll be swamping me with breeding lines....f.off......p+l if we going that way please my learned friends,ill post mine
as per my earlier thread golden horn was supposedly equal or better than cracksman but got beaten by a similar sds ride
Long and short was that it was a terrible run by a very brilliant and brave horse.
Won purely on class and guts and stamina, although if he had been shut out, he would have gone down.
This wasn't his running by a country mile, let's face it. He's beaten a 110 rated listed horse by the skin of his teeth?
He's had two defeats prior to this. As a three year old he sat too far back and came (way) too wide in the Irish Derby where he woulda won in another 100 yards....and his run in the Derby, where, like today, he patently didn't let himself down.
Some of you need locking up.
