Not even remotely disappointed about Baaeed missing Arc as you become immune to these things after a while. Racing isn't run for fans - never has been. We just have to grateful for the odd scraps where the fans' interest happens to coincide with the commercial considerations.
I can’t believe this is having to be said - yet again - in this day and age, but it’s not acceptable to resort to sexist abuse (or any form of abuse) when you disagree with someone.
And that Joseph’s statement says it probably contributed to his last performance i.e they never got to bottom of issue and were ready to kick on again. Perhaps, thank god his next race was in Australia
@i_horseracing@ronniedaguilar I think his fee is reflecting what he should be doing. Don’t think success like this - especially just 2YOs could be enough to go higher. If these 2YOs produce at 3 then he has a right to go stratospheric with his fee.
Lovely performance. Nice to see a good performance from Tuesday after Irish derby flop. I think they could be arc 1-2 as well but may be I’m just being reactionary
Order of Australia is just one of those grand good horses. Idk if he’ll find another G1 to win again but he doesn’t have to. Just a solid good horse. Ballydoyle normally ship those types o. But nowt wrong with keeping a handful around.
@i_horseracing@aobrienfansite Perhaps it’s a assessment that at 10f he is just a solid G2 horse and continue to try find way to unlock his G1 potential by stretching stamina but if he’s to continue at Ballydoyle I hope it’s at 10
@i_horseracing@aobrienfansite I get that he’s a lazy (probs wrong term) type but why they keep trying 12 is beyond me. Never shown anything over it - return to form at 10 and then backward again over 12. Results over 10f 3242 some in low grade races but it’s def his optimum trip on racetrack form
@AyySix What you reckon? Nice spot in calendar for redemption colts - good prize money, good distance, keeps against same age group longer. Picks up from secretariat stakes from years gone by?
@aobrienfansite@i_horseracing@FunkyAOL I find it all very satisfying to follow and speculate. I think it’s a fine bunch of FSS but still hoping one of the Euro based will step forward again. Like you said, Mehmas did so and is flying now. Could there be another this year
