Looks like Strawbridge should have run Fantasia at Newmarket as well.

That was the first thing I thought when I watched the replay as well.

Full credit to the winner, but the favourite just didn't have anything.

Rainbow View was a freak of a 2yo, and it won't be a huge surprise if she never produces that sort of form again. She raced over a mile last year everything suggested she'd want slightly further this year. She was outpaced yesterday and stayed on in the closing stages, we should see a better performance over ten furlongs but I've long had the opinion we wouldn't see her in the same form as last year ever again.
