Good luck to Hali and to Viscount Nelson (tough field! Do it for Horatio).

I love that Guineas field. St Nicholas Abbey was amazing in the RP Trophy, and I hope he does well here, but I don't know about running in the Guineas without a prep race. I know STS did it, but he was STS!

This makes me sad.

The 2000 Guineas was a good race though. Makfi was very impressive.
