Moonlight Cloud -Deauville 2:08

Won it like an odds on too, well done ilwab.

Yeah won with the minimum of fuss, 7 furlongs is probably her best trip, anyone think she could trouble the big 2 of the 3yo's Dawn Approach and Toronado over a mile?.

She was very unlucky behind good miler yardstick in Excelebration in the Marois last year.

shes as good as any horse around imo

I rate her a better horse than those 2 but a mile stretches her stamina i think.

racing post rate both those horses better than moonlight cloud 124 / dawn approach 129 / toronado 130, and they are only 3yos.
moonlight cloud's rpr rating will most likely improve, if can win some more group 1 races this year, talented horse.

You have a chance at finding out today Silver(2.45 Deauville) Dawn Approach, Intello, Moonlight Cloud, Elusive Kate and Declaration of War amongst the line up.

Yeah pa fascinating contest, best race of the year so far, will probably answer more questions than it asks?

Does indeed look the best race of the flat season,can quite happily  watch just watch it, if the winner win well looks as if they will be a true champion.

If dawn Approach wins, we will have a true champion..........Toronado.

i have a sneaky feeling for dec of war.lots of money for it last day v the big two..

ive had a decent bet on new approach @9/4

Do ye not think he is a bit old tony57?

Ha Ha

sorry, know what you meant tony,was calling gentleman duke gentleman jimmy meself the other night.

ha ha..very good pa..

Backed Dawn Approach myself. Of the 3 main protagonists, he is probably the only one racing over his optimum trip.

The 11 yards short of a mile was the difference in the end,an exceptional filly over 7f indeed.
Dawn approach ran no race and dare i say it looks to be finished.

what expert at the curragh let the g2 race off at same time as the french one?staggering stupidity and incompetence.im sure almost everyone at the curragh wanted to watch the french race and prob did?

crime what they are doing to dawn approach,should never of been racing today. watched the lethal force defeat by moonlight cloud, cruised up. last year in the race,was unlucky. rating will be going up now. looks like the handicapper was lenient rating that horse. talented horse.

I was there today SILVERGREASER and as you say , unreal that they never held the royal whip till the french race was over .Just goes to show how out of touch they really are .....Punters cursing them trying to watch both races , guess which one they watched ...Even a child would realize the punters wanted to watch both races ...Yet the powers that be deem it alright to allow the whip off at the same time ..Punter friendly my arse...

Sorry that reply was to Kavvie...

this the thread i fortold moonlight cloud would win many group 1 races this year
