I use 'good' to mean one I don't immediately mark as a negative. That's about as good as any are.

THE CORAL DONCASTER CUP STAKES (CLASS 1) (Group 2) (British Champions Series)
The Stewards called a review notice into an incident approaching the final ½ furlong marker when the winner COLTRANE, shifted quickly right taking LISMORE, placed third, which shifted left, slightly off its intended line. Having reviewed the incident and after allowing the riders to pass Scales on weighing in, the Stewards took no further action and allowed the weighed in signal to be given. Hollie Doyle the rider of TRUESHAN (FR), placed second, was suspended for 4 days for using her whip above the permitted level from 2½ furlongs out. |

Much as I like Trueshan (apart from when I layed him at Newcastle), he fecks up so many races, by not running and last two races the jockey seems to have a crisis of confidence (too much followed by not enough). Be glad when he is retired.

Assuming pilot error was the culprit for his defeat 5/1 from 2/1 in the Ascot Long distance Cup with the likely ground he loves thrown in must be backable; was 7.2 here - all gone.

Wasn't matched at 7.2. £6 available at 5.7, not tempted until I know if Kyprios is going to turn up.
|
|
By:
I'd £2 at 7.2. However, after today I firmly believe Kyprios is the genuine new staying kid; Stradivarius just managed to beat Spanish Mission on his ground, and that was the 1st indication he was on the decline. Similarly, Trueshan today was BAD despite having his ground, and against an inferior lot unless 99% of the defeat was pilot error.
|
|
By:
Kyprios did well to win today considering that the second appeared to be cantering, and didn't just throw in the towel. They were well clear of the third.
This was easily the best of the male performances today against the likes of Highfield Princess, Taniyra, Trillium and The Platinum Queen. Unfortunately, it looked a dreadful St Leger reduced to a sprint between a very ordinary bunch who finished on top of each other. |

By:
Wasnt much of a ride from Holly in all truth, looking at the horses most recent runs a different jockey would probably be a judicious move.

By:
According to trainer Trueshan was looking after himself. He'd not let himself down until the final furlong - he was remembering Goodwood (goodish) ground. Also, Trueshan had a hard race at Newcastle.

How could anybody know what a horse is remembering walofs.

Was just thinking the same acey, that comment really takes the buscuit for excuses!
![]() Maybe Trueshan needs a 'faith healer' or some mental health treatment before it runs next time... |
|
By:
impossible is close to the mark imo - and aceys ignorance is spellbinding bearing in mind he once worked in the industry so shud know a fair bit about horses welfare etc etc.
Goodwood race was clearly a grind for all 3 and must hav left its mark on one two or all 3 horses yet Trueshan runs flat today and its all down to jockey error blah blah blah - simple fact is an on song Trueshan wuda carried these but it werent to be today yet Kyprios - a much younger horse wiv less miles on the clock who many were queuing up to crab after latest run ran out a comfy winner - as Saint used to say in the footie "its a funny old game" |

Sounds as if King has just got his deflection excuse book out. Trainers criticise jocks in public about as much as the media.

I think it was a major mistake and a major contributing factor for the defeat of Trueshan when Doyle decided to anchor Trueshan at the back despite the pitiful pace. I'm not writing off Trueshan (yet), and given he's missing The Cadran and Kyprios probably Arc bound the Ascot Long Distance Cup could be his bounty having missed so many open goals because of undesirable ground.
Soumillon committed the same cardinal sin on Vadeni in The Champion Stakes. |
