    How do You get boxed in like that down a strait like Flemington I don't know not a jockey but seemed a very odd ride by Dunne

    I was on It but to fair BB still would have won in its ear but yes Hawkes is not known for holding back on jock changes if they crucify one of his

    That's the horse's pattern though-get back, get cover and run on late. The time1:09.24(last 600m 32.95) made the task almost impossible. In fairness to Dunn, he pulled Chautauqua out in plenty of time in the Darley Classic last spring and he still got nailed by Terravista. It was precisely this move that opened the gap that allowed Bowman to make the winning move. That's tough to take in a Group 1 race and he would know it, too. If they line up again in the T J Smith(weather permitting), I'd be betting Chautauqua beats Brazen Beau-the Randwick rise favours horses that need to be held up for a run.

    Fair enough but he was reeling an tearing 600 out throwing his head around looking to get out Dunne was caught with his pants down simple as that

    Let's not understate the master ride by Jo on the winner did you see that low shot of him the last 100 m pure magic to watch BB would not have been beaten yesterday no matter Dunnes shocker winner too good

    He(Brazen Beau) was the pick of the parade. The Lightning is typically THE form race for the Newmarket and so it proved yesterday. I backed Lankan Rupee and I'm cursing myself for not having a saver on BB. I had the betting slip filled out I just didn't press 'confirm' ~X( L-)

    Damm bad luck TRK I had last nites lotto numbers picked an didn't put them on lol well I think I did

    Yeah he looked a million bucks in the yard he's a good one

    Bigger shock was Deep Field getting rolled thought he was a moral but too short to back yesterday

    I honestly didn't think the winner would come from outside those two. I didn't think BB could run low 1:08.00 but as it turned out he didn't need to. I think Price & Newitt(and me too) got the read of the race wrong. They might not have wanted to be the bunny, but there was no Deep Field to tag this week

    I backed Chautauqua in the Darley and I thought he had every chance that day so he had to step up and he surprised me yesterday. Terravista was trying to beat history and I rarely bet against that. LR was the class runner and they usually win the Newmarket.

    we can just about shut this thread down... 

    Chatauqua was quite amazing on Monday.

    Is Chatauqua heading to Royal Ascot?  Think he'd be a moral in the Kings Stand up the straight
  • tonytony    2,436 posts
    Hawkes has said they are not interested in Royal Ascot.

    If they travel it would be closer to home. There is no value (other than the freeloading for the owners) to taking a gelding to Ascot when there are a multitude of richer sprints elsewhere.

    Seems a strange decision as owners seem pretty well off so I would have thought a win over there would mean a hell of a lot more than a couple of hundred k more in prize money for another race. Same for team Hawkes. Look at the reactions of Moody, Freedman and Janiak after their wins over there seems something money can't buy.

    Plus Deep Field is now retired off to stud to meet around 200 mares.
