I think Trip To Paris is one of the best horses in the race, but I just have some reservations over his prep. His best races in the UK have been over 3600 to 4000 metres and with long gaps in between. He came to Australia and ran a hell of a race over 2400 in the Caulfield Cup, and now a couple of weeks later he's stepping up to 3200. I just wonder if Caulfield might have flattened him a bit. But now he'll probably prove me wrong with a spectacular win.
I'll go with Fame Game, Preferment, Who Shot Thebarman and Gust Of Wind.
I can't see Criterion figuring in the finish. Good horse, but he's a son of a Golden Slipper winner trying to run 3200 metres. Not for me.

Legend is a word too easily thrown about but Pat Eddery was one.

Can't remember a performance like it from a throughbred in a NZ Group One race. Just unbelievable. Gutted I couldn't be there to see it in the flesh.

So... I know there's a few posters who come onto this thread that have a good knowledge as regards horse racing... Been awhile since I have been to a meeting so I guess I am picking their brains... Going to Leopardstown for the Irish Gold Cup...any hints as to what horses are worth placing money on?

Don Poli will win it before winning at Cheltenham. You won't get very good odds though as the bookies are running scared of Willie Mullins.

Horse racing will be top of the agenda after Gullinbursti was killed at Bechers.
Anyway I hope Silviniaco Conti wins the big one tomorrow though I doubt he will stay the trip. Also done Holywell and Wonderful Charm, best race in years as there are so many classy horses running.

Ay it will ..was being slightly facetious there about the Daily Fail...
Silviniaco Conti will lack stamina I think..as Wonderful Charm... but Holywell looks interesting for sure...I have a fancy for Ucello Conti,half brother to Silviniaco Conti and maybe Goonyella and Saint Are.. but there are a lot of good horses running so hopefully will be a good race with no horrible incidents.

RIP to Moscow Flyer one of the best chasers I have seen. Great era of 2 milers in his day.
