York Dante Meet - Day 1

Nulty

Great looking card today.

An Ozzie import, 3yo and solid G1 performer in Main Aim makes the Duke of York very interesting.

Same with the Musidora. Timepiece let the Cecil fillies down tother day...can Aviate put Cabaret away?

Also, heres a quote from AO'B in the RP:

Speaking early on Tuesday afternoon, the filly's trainer Aidan O'Brien said: " The plan is for Cabaret to run in the Musidora and she is only declared for the Naas race in case there is any problem with planes flying from Ireland in the morning.

Its a day of poetry apparently!

his price looks to be getting better and obviously a better bet but I think the 3yo is special. Gosden-Buick have been flying and Stoute hasnt shown enough thus far. Tips it IMO

Both had a clinch of winners so no real substance to that argument

Cecil had a nice win today,his horses are going well. So too are Hillls' horses,he's had a good start to the season.

Cape Blanco - interesting!

Johnny Murtagh seems unsure that he'd get the Derby trip. Possibly a valid concern - his sire is Galileo, bit his dam was a sprinter. On the other hand, he didn't seem to be on the stretch - did it very nicely after doing a bit of work to get to the front.

Hopefully the injury scare will pass. I would discard most of the others, apart possibly from Workforce - the jockey said his bit slipped through his mouth, so that would explain the hanging.

Cape Blanco will stay the trip, he looked fine crossing the line and probably would have taken some pulling up had he not injurred himself. Considering how well he finished in light of the lameness, he looks a derby horse through and through. It'll be nice to have an unbeaten colt in there anyway.

Workforces bit did slip, I'd say it severely effected his chances today but still looks a horse for the Derby. It looked like he was very uncomfortable with the tack problems coming up the straight and maybe would have given the judge something to think about with a clean run.

Cecil's good run continues,winning the group 2 and listed races today. Nice to see Tom Queally doing well.

Just saw Henry had a listed winner at Newbury too,must watch out for his. Also Ryan Moore has been doing very well on any rides he picks up for Richard Hannon lately,had another winner for him today,
