I have lost respect for timeform with the 130 rating of city of troy! Really? I doubt that rating. Idk maybe the rating is correct but i haven't been wowed by his performance in the judemonte international he beat horses he was rated alot higher than him . So what? Maybe its because its the flat and i find it hard to get excited about anything on the flat . Cant wait for the jumps! See some proper 170 rated horses 😅
I hate being negative to the show guys, I enjoy it. But David's take that Calandagan is as good as City of Troy, is excuse me, ridiculous. His argument that Calandagan ran certain furlongs faster than City of Troy and if he had been closer to the pace etc etc! City of Troy had the advantage of racing from the front? you say. He did the opposite in his Derby run and all you heard was, well it opened up for him bla, bla, bla. That's totally irrelevant. Everybody misses or avoids the point. He had the ability to make up all that ground and not only win but quickened again towards and through the line. Did we hear him being applauded for coming from the rear and making up all that ground absolutely not ZERO! Do you think that if they met again, only Calandagan had the advantage of running from the front and according to you and everyone else City of Troy had. Do you think he would beat City of Troy then! Lastly, he had every chance to pass COT but he was holding him comfortably, right through and beyond the line. Another two furlongs and he would have won even further. Then to finish it off. He's already not getting any flowers even if he wins the Classic says GC. Enough said.
Loved the GC rap at the start. Very good. The man’s a poet!!!
think ruby said they think vauban was dehydrated last year
All that cocaine they been feeding him properly 😅

over 12f he might be..........
@@Pmrace1960 Hi, he might be? Do you mean City of Troy would be better over 1m4F.
@@thechameleon344 before the race i thought calandagon was more likely to be inconvenienced by dropping in trip...
@@Pmrace1960 Got it. Thank you for that.
sadly they will never run against each other again and its a great pity we wont be able to see either this horse or goliath in the arc
