    What did Blake say?

    Blake hanging them all on ITV. I would say his phone is about to explode.

    Varian pulled all his runners yesterday as well.

    They are going to blame the supplier.

    It was a slow race, but the ground looked awful, I am struggling to think of another Arc where the ground was as bad. I remember 1999 was on heavy going, but it did look not as bad as 2020's Arc.

    The ground was far worse when Solemia won it

    Worst Arc in memory imho. Enable clearly no longer at her best and no O Brien horses present. Love or Magical would have eaten these. You could say it was quite fitting for the year that's in it.

    Magical who is 1 from 5 over the trip, would have beaten those? Just the six lengths behind Sottsass in the race last year on better ground.

    Intriguing and tantalising comment . Anything more specific forthcoming ?

    Nothing specific, just a lot of "why's".

    Such as, why does a synthetic performance enhancer end up in multiple batches of feed?

    In case anyone here backed Love ante-post with PP, they are giving a "Justice Refund" for all bets, no max. Fair dues to them, soothes the pain a little bit although most of my Love dosh was on BF.

    Went to get my Love ante-post money back today only to find that it was not a refund but a free bet to the value. I know that this is better than a slap in the gob with a wet fish but it is not a refund. Bit pissed off but what can you do?

    It was a mistake.
    If there is an investigation it will consist of looking out the window, examining fingernails, and shuffling feet.
