Gerh said: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.

What time is the kazoo in ‘merican time?
I thought they had named it after this guy but apparently his name is Gazoo.

They do. In winter the UK uses GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), in summer they use BST (British Summer Time, which is GMT + 1).
Similarly on the mainland, winter is CET (Central European Time), summer is CEST (Central European Summer time), which are both 1 hour ahead of the UK's time.
They do switch the clocks on different weekends than North America though. I know they go to summer time on the last weekend of March unlike here where we do it on the second Sunday of March.

The Cazoo Oaks was run Friday... have you ever seen a U.S. race run like this? (watch what the field does at the top of the stretch!)
16 lengths! Snowfall simply sensational in Cazzo Oaks for O’Brien and Dettori - Racing TV - YouTube

That seems crazy but there must be a good reason...better ground maybe? They’re in that turn for like a minute so maybe that has something to do with it?
Snowfall sure gave them a dusting.
