Rode a horse with stringhalt in a 100-mile endurance ride. He did well to finish 4th and it didn't really seem to bother him much.

Anyway, Auguste Rodin was obviously disappointing but I still would love to see him run on dirt.

Yes WoW very visibly had stringhalt after his Preakness win which caused social media to go crazy about him being lame before everyone knew what it was.

My question now is ''Will he come back to Tokyo this year to seek for his second Japan Cup victory? ''

Man, Aidan O'Brien is getting ripped to shreds on social media for his excuse-making. Is he really willing to tarnish his legendary reputation on behalf of Coolmore's stud fees? It's kind of hard to witness.

Goliath looked great, and not to question other country's racing practices, but maybe the ban on geldings in the Arc is a bit archaic?

The horse is quirky-runs like a champion then next race just gives up and doesn’t seem to try. I wonder if the ground has anything to do with it. Aiden likely under a lot of pressure from Coolmore to spin any losses to save his breeding value.

Kyprios won the Goodwood Cup (G1), his second win in the race.

ETA: he broke the course record by more than 3 seconds.

I'm still wondering why Aomori City(FR), the impressive winner of the G2 Vintage for Godolphin, has been named so. :lol:

2000 Guineas winner Notable Speech (Dubawi) takes the Sussex S (G1). Shame Rosallion wasn’t able to run.

I'm sure that Emily Upjohn's connections are having some second thoughts about keeping her in training this year.

It appears Rosaillion has been retired not through injury

Hannon said he has nothing to prove

I personally dont agree with that plenty to prove.

He has not been retired, but is done for the year. Won’t be ready for the Prix Du Moulin and they don’t want to race him on soft ground. They also don’t want to ship him so that rules out the Breeder’s Cup.

Kind of bizarre but that’s Sheikh Mohammed Obaid.
