Cape Blanco

the problem is knowing which ones they have ready.

It`s the Dante. Surely ready!
Think the money will come for this eventually.

best horse in the history of the sport according to David Duggan

The money came for Cabaret yesterday in the Musidora.

Any1 else think Circumvent at 25s is seriously overpriced in this?

Can see it tradin well lower than that in running- have had a play anyway!

No Bet, ain't got a bloody clue

This would also interest me at the price , chabal could be best fto , second last day badly needed the run according to trainer. Stoutes could be good but needs to improve, and cc also needs to improve. ( especially for tony/cailini deas)

cape drift is alarming to say the least

Impressive wd

yeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa , get in , especially for tony

Wd backers!!

LOL I can't believe i didn't back him today
Happy with my AP for the Derby though

Lets hope he goes Down backed him at 9s on here after,looked very impressive!

Aidan O'Brien referred to Horseracing Authority

Aidan O'Brien was referred to the British Horseracing Authority after reportedly refusing to allow raceday officials to examine Cape Blanco following his win in the totesport Dante Stakes at York.

The Ballydoyle trainer watched from County Tipperary as Cape Blanco galloped to second-favouritism for the Investec Derby, after which rumours circulated about his well-being.

Television pictures appeared to show the colt being lame and stiff, but representatives from Ballydoyle and Coolmore insisted the horse was fine.

In an attempt to settle the matter, stipendiary steward, Robert Earnshaw, and BHA vet, Lynn Hillyer, both spoke to O'Brien by phone but he was said to have refused for the winner to be examined and declined an invitation for his travelling head lad, Pat Keating, to meet with the stewards.

Earnshaw said: 'Our vet is down at the stables but Mr O'Brien has refused to have the horses trotted up in front of the vet.

'The lad has loaded the horse up and is heading for the airport.

'Mr O'Brien also refused a request for the stable lad to be interviewed by the stewards so the matter has been referred to the British Horseracing Authority under Rule B 83, which states that persons must comply with any instruction given by stewards at a race meeting.'

WHY!!!!!?????

...did he not let the vet look?
Very strange.

He let the vet look once, trotted him up once, then they treated him, then the course vets wanted to trot him again!!
Aidan lost the plot, can see why, madness by the vet!

That makes more sense.

Walked out OK this morning, should be fine.

Small worry about the trip though I suppose, if he goes he'll be running for second anyway innit

Good thread, had a little each way, pleased to say.[:)]

Tony will Cd be back for the tipping comp iyo? Hope he's more sporting this time around.
