The best performance?? Ghanaati. What a filly!
The performance that pleased the public most? YEATS (although I DESPISE him)
Personally for me, the best win was Art Conoisseur. HUGE PAYOUT. Dream.
Although, the most impressive of the week was probably Canford Cliffs, all over every other horse in the race, very surprised if he doesn't turn out to be something very special indeed. (Radiohead deserves a mention after all that hustle and bustle!) |

How can you possibly despise a horse? Think him not very good - OK. Dislike his character, conformation or way of going, OK. But despise? Surely not! |

Ghanaati. Beautifully delivered to and on the track. Can't wait to see her against the colts (& elders). Best miler filly since Russian Rhythm for me and has the potential to go even higher.
Special Jockey mention - Murtagh. Brilliant riding that secured a couple of wins which otherwise might have gone elsewhere. The man is awesome in Group 1s. |

Machiavellian, I don't know what happened with that picture (presumably of Jack Yeats although it's hard to tell?!) But I'm going to delete it as it is making the thread impossible to read!
Sorry and all that......
