No chance

Ashrun will be pummeled

Good, cause it has none.

Glenfiddich was heading for the Cox Plate, now running in the Coolmore.....

I believe it is being renamed the Praying For A Miracle Form Turnaround Stakes this year.

All over Anders on that basis.

Pretty bloody uninspiring Derby Day fields. Worst I can remember.

The Empire Rose and Derby look exceptionally poor.

Aside from the Coolmore and maybe the Cantala, the rest are garbage.

Aidan O’Brien onto to the phone to Col McNiff as we speak

Seriously...how could they get this s**t wrong....no wonder we get a bad wrap done here in South Victoria.

Agree, such a shame

Golden Eagle field is a cracker, shame about the likely conditions

 

[TBellicious]

Although the Derby Day fields are weaker than usual, it has not diminished my enthusiasm at all

 

[2121]

I will probably regret this but im taking farnan in the coolmore at 6's.

Could easily pick 5 and miss. Good old Field job in the quaddie

Correct

Nice betting race - laughable field for $7.5m though

Has the Golden Eagle affected the depth of some of the Derby Day fields?

*In before you say the depth of Australian Racing is utter dogsh*t.

Arguably some of the 4YOs would be in the Cantala (already a fairly deep field) and the Empire Rose (limited depth)

The Yes Yes Yes has affected it more. A couple of those from the GE would deserve a spot in the Cantala or the Empire Rose but I wouldn’t have any of them winning it. A 7.5 million dollar joke.

it was put in to affect them by that idiot Vlandys. This race serves no other purpose

And to throw huge sums of money at races internationals are unlikely to come and pinch. Like the ever increasing numbers of big money 2yo races. A sort of protection racket for our dismal breeding industry.

Yes to both

A bunch of the girls would be in the Empire Rose and the boys would be in the Cantala.

You wouldn't have Funstar winning the Empire Rose? She'd be fave.

The YYY only impacts the Darley on the final day anyway.

Only had a quick look but Waller looks to have about 14 of his Epsom runners in the YYY, who you’d normally imagine the Cantala. But yes Gytrash will be a glaring omission from the Darley.

i would also argue AB and Funstar would have gone to the Cox Plate. Both had zero chance but they deserve a run in front of Mugatoo and some of the other handicrappers

Mugatoo did run very well though, was hardly a great edition though.
