IT’S going to be some 2000 Guineas next May if they all get there. Perhaps there is that sense at this stage every year, in the immediate wake of the big European juvenile autumn races. It may be a recency bias thing. Even so, you get the feeling that this year’s crop of juvenile colts could be a vintage crop.
Too Darn Hot has to top the list. John Gosden’s colt is unbeaten in four, and he won the Dewhurst. Not only did he win the Dewhurst, but he won it impressively, despite not getting the run of the race nor really handling the Dip on the fast ground. And there’s his breeding, by Dubawi out of Dar Re Mi, a brother to So Mi Dar, a half-brother to Lah Ti Dar, a brother to the colt who sold for 3.5 million guineas at Tattersalls last week.
