Commonwealth Cup

Yep, fair enough.

Um, yeah, it's, um, it's a cracking card.

It's a brilliant card, isn't it? It was good ground last year, by the way.

200/1, 100/1.

Yeah.

In the head as well though, 'cause I think he's got a shot.

Well, he's got a cracking chance, hasn't he? He ran a blinder at Donnie, I thought.

Yeah.

So there's lots of speed in her pedigree once you actually go digging for it.

And I think she's going to be a really interesting horse potentially for the Commonwealth Cup next year.

Go back and watch the video of this Lagardere if you haven't already seen it.

She just wins it like it's a piece of work.

And, you know, I still think he's a leading contender for more group ones or even a 2000 guineas.

next year the calls aren't that great as we've often said but it was interesting that even though that was over seven the trainer said immediately afterwards he sees her as a sprinter I recommended to Barry Mahan that we'd be running her in the Commonwealth Cup next year you know it's hard to believe you think you'd nearly try her she's related to Frankel, I think, amusingly.

You'd think they'd have a go over a mile, first of all, and then go back and trip.

But we'll see what the Phillies' mile throws up next week.

They've sort of all fallen by the wayside.

And yeah, when we think what's it going to look like by the Commonwealth Cup, hopefully... one of these failed milers is maybe going to drop back in trip and really take that kind of race by the scruff of the neck because these sprinters don't look anything out of the ordinary at the moment.

How about those fillies, though, David, who were placed in the Sheveley Park? Libertango, Senorita, Benita, they could be high-quality sprinters next year.

Yeah, definitely.

They'd certainly be top of the pecking order for a race like the Commonwealth Cup at the moment, wouldn't they? Sun Godess, you'd be amazed if she doesn't have a Guinness prep and that looks the obvious place to go.

I mean, I ought to point out that that rating of 120 that she's got, that is really high for a filly at this time of year.

I think there's only a handful of fillies rated higher than her average.
