is he the second coming?
hes by justify who coolmore have invested a lot in. hes doing very well this season at stud with g1 winning two year olds already in america and europe. both filies though.
it is very important for coolmore to have a g1 winning 2yo colt for justify and this is the horse. he was very impressive at york on good to soft ground. surprised he hasnt run since. a bit weird that he was pulled out of the curragh.
aidan has said hes an unusual horse in that he doesnt seem to get tired. interesting stuff. get ready for the superlatives if he wins easily.

If he runs tomorrow. I think he'll unless 30mm of precipitation between now and race time. I fancy Haatem (66/1) as forecast.
Think he's 50/50 to run. If he does he'll be too short. he's never ran at York and it could be much softer tomorrow. Also he's too small.
Ed will no doubt cream his underpants if it bolts up telling us he is racings next superstar blah blah blah
The weather forecast is clear and cloudy skies with a possibility of patchy rain. But, mainly clear.
Its been heavy rain here until 8ish but it should drain if we get no more. Its cold and it will need a good morning to improve the going.
Is it raining at the moment? A possibility of a patchy shower in the afternoon. He won in the soft in the Superlative. I think it will be ok as it's his final race of the season.
He's 3 (only for £10) here to win by 2l or more; he won by 6 1/2 and 2 1/2 previously. Anyone?
Apparently a decision after 1st race post 29mm of rain.
won the superlative on good to soft according to atr and timeform .

"The ground is not going to be ideal for City Of Troy," said trainer Aidan O'Brien. "He moves beautifully and would prefer real good ground, but we're running out of options and we need to get that third run of the season into him.
"Everything has gone well since he was supposed to run at the Curragh. He's the same weight now as he was going to the Curragh so he has obviously matured and got stronger. We're very happy with him and he's doing everything nicely and easily."
O'Brien will also be represented by Group 3 winner Henry Adams, who finished fourth behind Rosallion in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere.

I think it will win but with a horse called City of Troy I would be wary of Greeks bearing gifts if I was putting my bank on it.
b365 offering 11/10 city o troy super boost dont know how much for but could interest some on here !
They what that champion 2 year tag for a justify imo
Even in the States they’ve realised how useful the justifies are on turf.
Would be a big win.
But didn’t they pull him from that last race in Ireland because if the ground?
And this be worse because it’s that drying sticky ground…I suppose a dirt horse might like that but still lol

"he's vulnerable and could get beat"
wow. wouldn't be wading in at odds on after that call ....

Big sigh of relief from place potters across the country
AOB did not run him in the National because of this race, and Henry Longfellow would go on soft. As this is the final race of the season for City Of Troy running him is prudent, I think; if he's "stuck" in the ground Moore will no doubt let him come home in his own time like he did with Auguste Rodin and Ylang Ylang.
looking at the time of the first race. The going no worse than gd-sft. No excuses for City of Troy. Will probably have no more than another 7 races in its lifetime. Will it ever get beat?
Doubt it.
Doubt it.
Justify was also unraced at 2 so probably another reason they pushing COT.
365 was 7/4 ante, and brave to go 11/10. Now money for him here (1.78 to 1.62), the boys'? Let's hope so.
Would Coolmore let him go to their nemesis Godolphin for £100m? I'd if he was mine, but I'd doubt it very much as it's Godolphin.

The other one they have in the 10f race must be their Champion hurdle donkey imo
massive lay at 1.58 for us.
trainer says its vulnerable.

Proper horse…got to love how he flexed his muscles and came clear.
That was something. Let's hope he's not carrying the wrong weight!

What was the winning distance? He was 3.65 for over 2 lengths.

Good to see Ryan Moore taking more time to speak about his rides than he used to.
Aidens trained him into promote the future stallion hype.
Remarkable performance but I’m not convinced the ground at Newmarket is as bad as they’re making out. First two races just 2s above standard.
'Evens' best price for 2000G, and 3/1 for Epsom.
the 6/4 ante post at Slybet lasted just long enough to get a bet on, and a nice trade on here.
Frankie - at two out I thought COT was going nowhere.
Just like his retirement then.

No messing about from Moore in that.No complicated ride
straight to the front.Rode him like the best horse there.

A bit like Sharmadal…who nearly had his career destroyed after Godolphin tried him on dirt.
Sparrow's right again another 10,000 posts on the G.O.A.T debate that can never be proven , reckon the next thread will be about who'd win the Eider Chase on soft ground City of Troy vs Constitution Hill.
It's all harmless fun though

What was the biggest bet on the price graph? How you suppose to put a bet of 100k on a certainty with these stupid safer gambling rules
Decent run from Gasper De Champion Hurdle imo
