I think Rosallion and Notable Speech were beaten by a lack of fitness. A bad result for horseracing. The winner was fitter, and ridden by a jockey who'd not give a specimen to coppers after driving his car into a tree in the early hours of a night in newmarket.
The winner was the wrong price having beaten Dancing already. Didn’t like the soft ground last time out at Sandown and wasn’t beaten up on his reappearance. Teal blamed the rain in Paris for his defeat in the French 2000, today it was too fast!
What can we expect at Ascot?
As for being bad for racing it’s like when Gaelic Warrior preps for the Arkle and just about makes it over the last at Leopardstown then wins at Chelts!
A year later finished tailed off in prep race at Leopardstown behind Marine then turns up at Aintree and wins with his head in his chest!
Now they are all race fit who would you favour?
Seems like everyone is with Rosie. Who to those on ITV felt was left out on the wing over racing, but watch back and you’ll see he was settled in amongst them following the Karl Burk filly. He moved out to be behind his stable mate who then shifted over leaving him on the wing. When let down he didn’t find much as in go away from Notable Speech, Buick made up the length and tired. Both will come on more for the run. Will Buick be able to do that on a stiffer track, his horse was also plenty keen too.
At least we have an exciting mile devision to look forwards to this year and that’s the bonus I take from today.

At Royal Ascot I'd favour Rosallion (strip-fitter), and possibly Notable Speech (if Ascot is no hindrance). I think Dancing Gemini was beaten fair and square today by Lead Artist; I cannot see a repeat of the Lockinge result at Ascot between these 4 horses.
We’ll see how it plays out, both will strip fitter and Notable Speech failed at Ascot on the round course but won the Guineas on the straight Newmarket Mile. People presume he won’t get the mile there and that they’ll go fast, as we’ve seen so far this year that’s not always the case I.e. in the 2000 already.
The race can throw up surprises in the win and place so to have all four at the same odds is a lot of eggs in the one basket which the books no doubt savour.
