Havent seen the sheets for this and probably wont play but in doing my homework I watch video ... take a gander at this... talk about ground loss. There has to be a dbl !! for this race. Enjoy ...

That\'s incredible! WOW

I\'d love to see trackus for that race! But seriously, you have to ask about his competition and also like the announcers said, maybe the ground was much better out there. It looked like a public workout to me. At least we know he can stay the trip!!!

After looking a bit deeper into the race, you could make a case for Imperial Monarch. My first impression is the race did not come up too strong this year. He might be a good fit here. The other euros haven\'t impressed me too much. I like the way Al Khali is coming into the race, but he certainly tends to get beat in a lot of his races for one reason or another. Can\'t fault Wigmore Hall at all- does he fire another huge shot is my only question. Gotta look at the sheets and do more analysis later. I did like the way Dandino finished in his last two; perhaps he\'s improving which he would need to do. Good luck.

Scratched.

As odd as it might seem, staying that wide was part
of the plan, if you believe the post-race analysis,
which starts with:

\"With more rain around than in Noah\'s time, the ground
was riding very testing and it was a brave decision by
Joseph O\'Brien to take his mount as wide as possible,
almost onto the road and then under the trees...\".

Hilarious!
