There's talk of Choisir going for the Darley July Cup over 1200m at Newmarket in early july.The track at Ascot was firm,which is most unusual and records were set.Choisir's course record was beaten in the very next race at the 1200m distance.
The July Cup may be run on more yielding ground at Newmarket with an uphill finish.Airwave has bags of speed but couldn't muster the knockout punch against Choisir over 1200m.I'd fancy Airwave to get closer over 1000m on a fast firm track but apart from getting those conditions I'd go for Choisir every time.I can't see a danger to Choisir in the July Cup unless one of the doubtful Milers steps back in trip,maybe Intercontinental,a three year old French filly but she may stay in France.
It's great news for England to beat you lot at Rugby.Well you beat us
at soccer....I'm still crying.
