The fact that it was a new record would indicate to me that it wasn't the best ride by Beasley. He had Spark of Life covered a long way from home and they were already travelling at an enormous pace. If he had just stayed with the leader until the final furlong he would've most likely won the race. The winner was very impressive and surprised me, but Ikes Dream got home just as well as her and Carrie On Cutie who was molested by Snippetson did run a good race and judging by the follow on was full of running towards the end. Thousand Guineas looks an ideal target.

Was also extremely impressed by the second placed Pendragon earlier in the day, they really walked early and he was physically no chance of getting to the leader from second last in the time they sprinted home. Come time for the Golden Rose he will be spot on, and they don't walk in front in million dollar races, i am declaring him already.
