I am enjoying the fact that those of us in the U.S. can now watch some of these races live on our television sets. It was another authorative performance by Sea the Stars. I am impressed.

3G1...more to come...ST Leger the target..and hope to end uk triple crown drought in 39 years.


He will run in the Irish Champ stakes, not the St Leger, with the Arc as the ultimate goal.

I was at Newmarket to see Goldie run. :D

slightly fractious in the paddock (much more than at SA which I also saw)
she ran a cool race beating females.

it was an easy win (despite the margain Goldie had the race well in hand)

Lets see her beat males again in France like last year.
