Breeder’s Cup

Literal tap in now then for the grizzly she's walloped that field over the course of the season

Yes only unknown is the Jap, she’s 7/7 and looks decent. But all about Thorpedo…
 
Aidans team atm, few have come out with knocks after vet checks so the plan is for these 12 to go Saturday
  1. Heavens Gate
  2. Lake Victoria
  3. Whistlejacket
  4. Ides of March
  5. Henri Matisse
  6. COT
  7. Luxembourg
  8. Ylang Ylang
  9. Content
  10. Wingspan
  11. Diego
  12. River Tiber​

Looks like all 11 shipped other than River Tiber

Aidan says plan is for Wingspan to go with Lux atm rather than the Mares race and Ryan to likely ride Ylang Ylang and Lux

I think Wingspan would be a player in the Turf… seems on an upward trajectory and like the run against Kalpana. Tempted to take the price now but prob no rush if Ryan rides Lux… might even drift?
 
The Juvenile Turf looks wide open to me… Mentee looks overpriced at 20/1 for a Repole owned and Pletcher trained full brother to Fierceness. I backed him on debut when he was smashed off the boards and just held on after building a big lead, then after running down the field in the Hopeful he was switched to turf and won easily over 6… stepping up to the mile should suit on breeding… don’t think he’ll be as big on the day.

Couldn't put your off him MS, it is a very weak race. I took Henri Matisse when the racing post piece about the ballydoyle runners came out but he is a bit of a nutcase

Yeah, he’s the one out of the market leaders that I like the most… best form in the book if he can run true and don’t think he liked the ground in Paris last time
 
Favs and euros getting stuffed so far in the draws
 
whoever is making these MLs needs to pack it in
 
Thoughts on the draws? Need to be middle, no?

Lake Victoria will need to get out well or get penned to the rail

Yeah 3-6 the sweet spot, lake victoria needs to well or Ryan is going to need to have a ride like he gave auguste Rodin last year
 
Using the certainty Notable Speech as a Roll Up. Did he draw ok ?
 
Now with the draws done, what looks like a solid multi?

Cogburn looks nailed on to me with Big Evs and Bradsell wider.

Society with a lovely draw.

Immersive

East Avenue

East Avenue

The only one of those that I’m not on is Immersive, don’t dislike her but think she may drift a little?
