Going may not have helped. Drop in distance may not have helped. Reasonably quick turnaround from a classic may not have helped. Facing her elders may not have helped. Probably bang average may not have helped. Magic parsnips don't last forever DEFINITELY has not helped.

It didn't look the greatest of renewals beforehand and there were some that obviously didn't stay and/or act on the ground.

I'm sure she will still be a force if encountering the kind of conditions Oaks day provided.
I just thought some of the comments about her straight after the race were a tad OTT.
But we all have our opinions and its good that we can express them

another classic winner found out, and ill say here now like last year there wont be many 3 year old group1 winners coming from coolmore against their elders bow echo will dominate the milers, ombudsman unbeatable and 12 furlong the elders will dominate,

With it looking likely that today's Derby winner will run in the Irish Champion Stakes it would've been nice to see Ombudsman keep the entry as well. But York seems to be Gosden's priority atm.

Looks like James L Braddock was being fed the same diet of parsnips before Epsom,slickster!When they wear off they wear off in style!I'm sure Jim Bolger would have something to say on the matter(I don't think he's a great fan of that chancer,Blake,either)

They’ll say the ground was the key like they did Ben. There’s always an excuse!
Do horses only cough after the race?

I’m sure that it wouldn’t have, after all they ran Ben in the Derby knowing it’d hate the ground and track!
But was ridden out the back and looked after best they could!
And was declared a non runner!
What a bonus!

You really have the mind of an 11yo,Delbert. The horse lost all chance at the start and was rightly looked after. That the horse was declared a non runner remains The BHA's abuse of their Rules and AOB stated on the day that it is just one of those things that happen in racing.

Nappy o'brien at it from day 1. A particular favourite of mine was edwulf winning the Irish gold cup 10 odd years ago. Backed from 100 into 33s and naturally wins. With that yoke owning it. The turnips were very magical that day. Not to mention 2 Melbourne cups in his 20s and numerous biggies. You're meant to work your way up SLOWLY. If your name is mullins o'brien mcmanus or Walsh nothing to see here. Jim knows the time of day.
