Just listened to it.

Thank you so much for posting :bee:

Charlie sounded pretty sure he is the best, and they left him to mature, rather than go early - and he will be a better 3yo!

I backed him for the 2000 Guineas on Saturday at 25/1, and he was sensational through 7F+ of the 1M, then paid for his speed late on.

I've backed him again now at 16/1 with some Festival horses, (with Cashout) and expect that price to disappear soon.

For the trainer to view it that way after a narrow defeat and plan to go to the Group 1 Racing Post/Futurity next run (ground permitting) is great to hear.

I thought he oozed class over the Guineas C&D on Saturday and hope to see him back there in May.

If he is he best Appleby Guineas horse then Buick will ride him and maybe only Luxembourg appeals as a rival in the Futurity and the 2000 Guineas.

Masekela was put away easily on Saturday and has direct links to all the good form with Point Lonsdale, Native Trail and Bayside Boy - so he may have them covered?

Masekela does give us the form lines but I can't help but think he ran a little flat on Saturday. In any case, there's going to be so much improvement in Coroebus if they've looked after him this year with a view to his 3 year old career. I just loved hearing that Buick was so surprised with the response from Coroebus when he asked him to quicken.

I also liked the update on Space Blues who I'm a massive fan of and think the 4s currently with Sky is a good price. It sounds like the Foret has been the plan all season.

Yes, Masekela didn’t run up to his best, by some way.

Great interview content from Nick Luck.

Yes, he cuts out the faff, and gets to the point.

When he says he has always looked the best, is going to a Grade 1, and how impressed William was, and seemed to write the narrow defeat down to the horse wanting to get on with it a little to early, then there is nothing to dislike, for me.

Yes quite a big hint, and the fav ripped through the Irish Group 1 National Stakes, which puts a hole in the chances of AOB, Luxembourg could run for AOB in the Futurity against Coroebus so we should learn an awful lot if they take each other on,
 
Thought Saffron Beach was interesting in the sun chariot stakes for this Saturday having regained a bit of confidence with a win down in grade last time out, and her 2nd in the guineas.

Just seen she has been cut by B365 from 8/1 into 13/2. 8's still available with PP, BF and WH.

Nice surprise to see Marianafoot not declared for the Foret so I'm now even more confident that Space Blues will win on Sunday.

Strange to see the RacingPost reporting the ground as soft. The Longchamp clerk reported it as g/s, good in places yesterday with the weather being ok until Sunday where heavy showers were possible. I'll wait until Sunday to top up as long as the ground is not too soft.
 
Teona scratched from the Arc.

Leaving 15 runners declared

Draw takes place later this morning
(low draw preferred, usually 1 to 6)
Betting market will be affected by the draw, coming up.

With the ground expected to turn very soft, the draw will have less impact. In fact, higher numbers come into it a fair bit more based on previous stats on deep ground. Even playing field for all which is how it should be for what looks a spectacular race on paper.

Yes, a nice even draw all round on soft ground is great for the viewing public.
 
Space Blues will be retired at the end of the season and may have 1 more run in the Breeders Cup mile according to Appleby. I've taken a chance as he delivered for me again yesterday. B365 showing 10s, Paddys are 3s.

Coroebus looks a very very exciting horse

Big lump of a horse too who will surely improve from 2 to 3

Agree with this and I'm not sure if it's wishful thinking on my part but I just get the feeling that both Appleby and Buick feel he is their best horse. He was the last leg of loads of Cheltenham roll ups for me today so I was so nervous but it was never in doubt really!
