Frankie Dettori won the 2000 Guineas today aboard Chaldean 

Happy for Frankie.  They are calling it his last 2000 Guineas but I have a feeling...

The place horse Hi Royal was all over the track in the final stages.

Here's a replay for anyone who wants to take a look:

Both O Brien horses well beaten

Auguste Rodin decided not to try after he got bounced around and Little Big Bear finished lame in the right rear according to Racing Post notes.

The race was slow, historically, by almost 6 seconds as the going was ugly.

Royal Scotsman had a rough trip as well.He did well to get up for third

Yes.  He is now on the radar for the future.

just a heads up, and only if you prefer, these euro and elsewhere races tend to get "lost" in Gen Discussions.  We asked Tex to create topic areas for Asian, European, Aussie racing so that those of us who follow such international racing topics could zero in on finding them, and news about them, in their more specific topic areas. 

Just wanted everybody to know those topic areas exist. 

Moved it, sorry I didn't think to do it earlier....
