    Seemed an excessive draw bias but winner looked decent. Would be nice to see him back it up next time. Irish guineas should see plenty of them face off again

    The only thing I got right is my early post that "the 2000 Guineas is not a race for favourites". :o

    I can't remember a 2,000 Guineas quite like that.

    The winner is a smashing looking individual and he looks to have progressed on last year, thought he was very comfortable in the last half furlong and once again Donnacha rode a lovely uncomplicated race.

    Seeing as the draw made a farce out of the race what about the beaten horses? None of them impressed me on the day. It would be very much a case of a guessing game as to how they'd match up with each other when they meet again.

    For future reference, staying power is becoming increasingly important in the 2,000 with Magnia Grecia having one of the lowest dosage indexes in the race and a low dosage index featuring heavily in nearly every winner of the last decade.

    The bias in the race was so unsatisfactory . The winner done it very well though. If you owned the second you’d be wise to sell him.

    Ten Sovereigns ran pretty well all things considered.

    You could almost say he looked like he needed the run,took a while to get going and got a length up on his side and tired in the last furlong.

    The only bias about that race was the best horse by miles was on that side , and other jockeys are stupid . Was there not a load of evidence in the last year or too that stands rail was the only place to be ?.
