Epsom Oaks and Derby

Postby Carlo Algatrensig » Mon Jun 01, 2009 10:29 am

Anybody have any opinions on what they think might be the outcome of these two races this weekend.

My 2 picks are Perfect Truth for the Oaks and Golden Sword for the Derby

Haven't looked at the Oaks yet, but I hope for Sea the Stars for the Derby.

Nevertheless, it will be a great weekend on TV!

He is a star, within 20 years after Nashwan the first to complete the 2000 Guineas and the Derby.
After this: Champion Stakes? Diamond Stakes? perhaps Arc?

We''ll see and enjoy, that's what this sport is all about.
