I'll be watching this on the American Racing chanel here in the UK. I am a big big fan of Juddmonte and how they operate, I really hope she gets a win today. Was lucky enough to be on the farm the day her AP Indy half sister was born in 2003. Does anyone know if Toussaud is being covered this year, ...

Came to this post pretty late. Dubai Millenium's very brief stint a stud reminds me a bit of the late great Shergar. Like DM he was a charismatic horse and bred to an exalted book of mares in his only year as a stallion. He to bred a Group 1 winner in Authaal but generally his progeny were nothing s...

A proper operation should cull on a regular and informed basis. Take at look at the operations run by Coolmore, the Aga Khan and Juddmonte as prime examples. This should have been considered years ago. IMO the abilities of the horses bred by Godolphin and their associates, in relation to the stock a...

There may be any number of reasons why Aljabr has not been as successful as some had hoped. His dam side is very French with a turf orientated slant that would, in my view, not be especially stimulating to American buyers or breeders. I can't comment on his size/scope because I've seen him in the fl...

You are right to flag up the Unbridled angle, but on how I read this horse's pedigree I'd be looking at him to make his mark purely as a 2 year old. He must be a good looker as the two main bidders are not known for buying suspect specimens. Let's just hope he can ran fast for another 5 or 6 panels ...

Discreet Cat

Saw a video of this horses's run in Dubai last week and it was pretty special to my eye. I understand that he ran only once in North America last year when he put up the highest Bayer figure for a 2 year old and was promptly acquired by Godolphin.
