thanks for putting this up. Although looking at these PP I dont see a lot you can use to separate these horses, other than speed figures

Mrs. Prospector ?

I think if you like Mac Swiney, then dont forget ONE RULER... 

I know NONE of these Jockeys... Like "buick" did he get off of One ruler or ON Hurricane lane... Is Doyle better than Buick ?

Anyway, sticking my nose in where it doesnt belong... Have a good summer guys

No doubt, a plus.  I just rewatched the Irish 2000 Guineas from May 22 & he led throughout & was all out to hold off his rivals.  A very nice win on soft/heavy going.  It appears he enjoys the soft, the heavy and the yielding going.  That's when he wins.   When he meets good ground, he is beaten rather soundly.  The going is rated good at Epsom (as of today & projected to Saturday)

I'm ambivalent about him since he also likes to run prominently.  No Dettori, BTW.  I misread the Racing Post card.  Kevin Manning has the ride.

I think he's currently 7-1 at OddsChecker.   I do not think Jim Bolger would have entered him unless he thinks he has a solid shot.  Hmmm.

I prefer Hurricane Lane.  :)

Snowfall was phenomenal.I played a 4 horse exacta box with Zeyaadah,Willow,Divenely and Save A Forest.While Snowfall made some sense , there was no way I was coming up with Mystery Angel.Great to see Frankie going strong at 50.

Without a doubt!  What a stellar career.  Perhaps you've seen it already, but there is a wonderful little article in which Frankie talks about his early days at the track in the UK, meeting Steve Cauthen & the extent to which he considers Cauthen one of his mentors.  How much he learned & the fun they had.  If you search Franke Dettori Steve Cauthen you can find it if you're interested.

Looks like the surface has been downgraded to good to soft.  The softer the better tomorrow for Mac Swiney.
