I know O'Brien's a great trainer and all that, but for me Caravaggio was the most impressive 2 year old last season, and at Royal Ascot, as far as I'm concerned, he was staying on well to come from a bad draw and win going away. But O'Brien seems to think he won't stay, and has Churchill as his first choice. Moore seems to agree with him too. Hmm. Anybody else who saw the Ascot race? I'd be very tempted to take a price on Caravaggio (if he runs).

I would be taking on Churchill. Lost too much money on Air Force Blue last year to take a O'Brien 'wonderhorse' at that price.

I do fancy Barney Roy myself and maybe Rivet at a price EW.

Quite fancy Eminent.
Obviously the Frankel factor makes you think he'll be good over the mile but adding in the Northern Dancer all over his pedigree on both sides and I fancy he'll have both the speed and stamina to get home through the dip. The course form helps as well.
Not totally decided yet but I'll definitely be taking on Churchill if I have a bet.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Well, Churchill wins comfortably in the end.

Was quite impressed with Churchill considering he hadn't had a run and the other two in the first three had. It looked a good field too. Barney Roy took a bad step and would have been closer but I'm not convinced he would have beaten Churchill today. Lancashire Bomber wasn't far behind either, and with Caravaggio running in the French 2000 Guineas I reckon O'Brien is going to be really hard to beat this season.

Winter wins the 1000 Guineas. Another fine weekend for the Galileos.
