Do any of you give the mare Montare a chance against Yeats and the rest of the boys in this years Gold Cup at Ascot? She looks to be able to handle the 20 furlong distance from a pedigree point of view. I'm looking forward to watching. The defending champion Yeats will be tough to beat.

Well, 20f are a "long way to Tipparary", where much can happen and Yeats is at odds-on - perhaps not good value-for-money? So Montace (116 RPR on her Prix Royal Oak-victory) is not out.
Off course I hope, the German horse Le Miracle will show a good performance.
He was 3rd in the "Cadran" in October, where he made most of the early running, so an improvement is necessary. Let's hope for a rainy Thursday - sorry Ladies with big hats 
- Monsun's kids like soft/heavy going.
