Beautiful horse, beautiful win.

This is him winning the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot in his pre-Godolphin days (they gobbled him up right after this one, right?)...

Wow, that was one of the most impressive 2000 Guineas wins I've seen. That acceleration.

Flew back to the UK for the guineas, and I must say the way he won was very impressive. I was stood about half a furlong from the line and although it was clear to see he would win, I had expected the margin to be approx two and a half lengths. When the announcement was made the official winning distance was five lengths, I was shocked. He must have kept quickening up the hill towards the line.

If he handles the undulations of Epsom, he looks a moral for the Derby.
