@IsolatedTops Is BCR still coming? The way GS was talking earlier made it sound like he was done for the year, but not heard confirmation. Almaqam only a maybe too?
@JMB_Racing My two cents: SG is great but 4/9 is a rotten price, not sure Bacio will be suited by 5 1/2 furlongs around a bend and yeah, there’s a question mark around where Knightsbridge goes. Think most of the prices look a bit skinny anyway given usual ante-post uncertainties! GL!
@kaitlinebenson@RowleyfileRRR Appleby sounded keen on the Turf for Arabian Crown following his win at the weekend. Would be the likely Godolphin representative if Ombudsman gets good ground at Ascot.
@ciaranodeorain Yeah Oxx and Kinane always said he laboured once he hit the front, but they would say that haha. He looked all-out to me in some of those big wins; it wasn’t like he was tanking on the bridle on the line à la Montjeu in the KG.
@ciaranodeorain@alankearneykpm Stroud has had managerial responsibilities in the past (not sure about his role now) so I don’t think they were wildly dissimilar roles, but ultimately in bloodstock terms they’re the leads of a team of blokes at the sales, right? There’s always a bunch of them wandering around.
@ciaranodeorain In recent years, yeah, but I’m getting on a bit so remember some of the more barren years (can’t remember the exact years but I think some in the mid-late 00s and early-mid 10s).
