And he just keeps on winning no matter where Charlie Appleby sends him to race. Prior to his win here in the G2 Lennox Stakes, he'd hung on to beat Safe Voyage by a neck at Haydock in the listed Spring Trophy Stakes over 7f. Then went to France and beat stablemate D'bai by 1-1/2 lengths in the G3 Prix de la Porte Maillot also at 7f at Longchamp. After beating Duke of Hazzard by a couple of lengths in this race at Goodwood which was also at 7f, he went back to France, but to Deauville this time where he showed a wicked turn of foot to beat a good young sprinter in Hello Youmzain by a 1/2 length to win the G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest over 6-1/2f. And on his 5YO debut in 2021 he won the big turf sprint at the Saudi Cup meeting, and though currently an ungraded race, he took home a pile of cash. Next he'll be returning to Meydan to contest the G1 Al Quoz Sprint on world cup night. The last time Space Blues was beaten was last March at Meydan on the super Saturday card where he finished a disappointing 7th of 16 in the G3 Nad Al Sheba Turf Sprint. I'm betting he rights that ship on world cup night in the Al Quoz Sprint.
Norman Smithers In theory your correct but Serpentine needs to back up that form, it was a very strange Derby and questionable how strong it was. Unlike the Oaks with Love, the fancied horses couldn’t get involved. He wouldn’t get away with those tactics again unless is actually is the real deal. Stradivarius is an out and out stagers and 2 miles is ideal so couldn’t go up against the pace of Serpentine.
@Norman Smithers yeah but it's poor form mogul was beaten 4 l by Pyledriver at ascot plus it just beat Highland Chief and Subjectivist at goodwood and Pyledriver destroyed those 2 and mogul giving them all weight at ascot.
You had to expect big things from Battleground after how he won a few weeks back. He was never going to be beat at Goodwood. It’s all about the Dam Found. One of the best mares of the past 10 years no doubt. One of O’Briens best.
Frankel Forever They will. Early season break would have done the older, more experienced horses good. They had their canters and will all be 2 or 3 races in come the big end of season meets. Should be decent!
@@phobsdsr4326 you should never take anything for granted, look at poor Defoe breaking down on the gallops last week. Fingers and toes crossed the current top 5 in the betting all make it safely
Space Blues is much better than I thought. I think he’s improved this season.

Stradivarius to the Arc alongside Enable. If Frankie sticks with Enable, who should ride Stradivarius?
It would end up being R Havlin but I would give it to W Buick.
How about Tom marquand he's done well especially abroad

@Norman Smithers let's see how good he is without a solo like he got at epsom . the truth is he is not going to be able to run that way in the arc.

Super strad undoubtedly one of the best stayers of all time , but beating Enable in the arc is something beyond his reach .
Space Blues impressive
Stradivarius just made it towards the post.
Come on guys, we give best tips every day
Qaw km?
who would you pick in the Arc
Enable or Stradivarius
Surely Frankie's a lock to stick with his Queen - Enable.
Enable. That is more her trip. She has that acceleration where as Stradivarius keeps going and and picking up momentum for the whole 2 miles.
No way is Frankie getting off Enable. Shaping up to be a decent renewal if they all get there fit
