A late post today. Godolphin won both classic races yesterday at Longchamp. Persian King was able to overcome the heavy ground to win by a length. He is a really classy colt, and will likely head for the French Derby now. Classy Lady was the winner of the French 1,000 Guineas, so a good day for the boys in blue.
Only 1 race left today at Windsor. The ground has dried out. Some good racing over the next few days at York. Hopefully I can find a winner or two. The meeting is very difficult to back winners, but some real quality entries. The Dante Stakes, which will be a really good trial for the Epsom Derby next month. Too Darn Hot, Japan and Line Of Duty all really top form as two year olds, it will be like a ‘mini’ Derby, I am still sceptical about Too Darn Hot staying the 12f at Epsom, he is bred to get the distance, but he looked a horse with loads of speed last year. It will be a good race to watch, I just have a feeling Japan could be a very useful prospect, we will know a lot more after the race.
More tomorrow.
