Like a knife through butter. Great watch.

[@HorseRacingLegends]

Which one ?

[@JuddmonteColours]

@@HorseRacingLegends Rousillon 👏

[@HorseRacingLegends]

@JuddmonteColours Yes definitely was.

[@davidwills3107]

Great turn of foot. I guess when pacemakers were called pacemakers like Cataldi did there.

[@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering]

I seen the Bob Back race recently , still baffled how he beat Pebbles over 1m 2f 🤷‍♂️ 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@HorseRacingLegends]

Yes he was capable of a surprise on his day.

[@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering]

@@HorseRacingLegends aye , for sure it was a surprise on THIS occasion 😀 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Apparently she was found to be in season.

@@seanscanlon9067 that does make sense 👌 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering]

Bairn was well on top in his race , I never felt he was absolutely top echelon but he was right up for it on this day 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@HorseRacingLegends]

Yes he was just a bit below the very top

I fear I’d have backed Free Guest in the Queen Anne as I’d had many good wins from her the year before . Rousillon put in a first class effort there , wonderful change of gear . 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@HorseRacingLegends]

Yes he had some turn of foot,

[@myfrobert]

TBH, pretty easily to have the winner confused to Rosalion, the current active one unable to be seen on course again at least until next season.

[@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering]

I knew Sure Blade had won this , lovely to see it again , don’t think it worked out for him as a 3yo tbh 🤷‍♂️ 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@HorseRacingLegends]

He won The St James Palace and then The Queen Elizabeth Stakes .

[@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering]

@@HorseRacingLegends ah… that’s the lens of time then .. 🤦‍♂️ 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
