Too Darn Hot was back to his brilliant self yesterday at Deauville in the Prix Jean Prat over the straight 7f.  He travelled supremely well under Frankie Dettori, and was a ready victor at the line.  He handled the dry ground well.  It was interesting to hear the post race comments from his shrewd trainer Joh Gosden.  He admitted he made a couple of errors running over 10f and also rushing the colt when racing him in Ireland over 8f, that was in the Irish 2,000 Guineas, where he was a good second.  I would expect this horse to be aimed at 7f graded races from now, and possibly even 6f.

Todays card’s looked tough, trying to find a winner is difficult.  I do like a couple in the final race at Windsor tonight, but it is hard to decide the right one to be with, so I will probably watch.

More tomorrow.
