Can Mars finally win a race that isn't on dirt?

But Mars is a group 1 horse. :rolleyes:

Sure he is a great bet for the champion stakes 7/2

He's special, on a different planet.

Don't kill me , but it wasn't that bad a performance, he gave the third placed 109 rated Along Came Casey a 6 1/2lb beating + 3lb I think for the mares allowance which would have put him running to his 118 mark with a lot of decent types well behind in the race.:pac:

That would out the winner in the low 120s value for more, would make the Oaks and Treve's form very good

It's all a bit theoretical, she could have run to "possibly" about 120 today and I was playfully stretching things a bit with Mars. She never ran to anywhere near this form before this last week, but she did run on well in a slowly run Oaks to be beaten 1l into 4th, so she's fairly good, but 120 is highly unlikely.

There's lots of interesting collateral form to today's race, but best not to take it too seriously unless the winner goes off at a decent price next time.

You could defiintely do worse than Treve in the Arc.

Overthelast

Treve Treve Treve come the Arc.

Oops I'm late. Didn't even know he was running until I seen the results in the paper.

Ha ha. You just knew he'd lose.
