Can’t see a thread about the Derby either?
I too was very impressed by Secret Gesture at Lingfield. She certainly has the stamp of her sire about her. However there are at least a couple of worries
Firstly the opposition was dire. Maybe the Lingfield Derby and Oaks trials were never the premier trials, but they seem to be becoming worse and worse. At this rate they’ll struggle to retain listed, let alone group status.
Secondly the last two Epsom Oaks have been run at a crawl. Very unsatisfactory, likely to turn up a random result and count against the true staying fillies like Secret Gesture, and if they repeat that this year, that would certainly count against her.
Lastly the possibility of quick ground, something she’s never run on.
There’s been a Derby thread since July last year!
I only look at the first page, too lazy to delve any deeper
