Roaring lions turn of foot was EXPLOSIVE
Race of the season for me. Love the Lion.
Been a nice journey watching this fella go from strength to strength this season ,hopefully he's kept in training and targeted at all the big ones next year,terribly exciting horse.
Brilliant acceleration in the straight! What a champion!
Great to see the best horse and jockey win.
Fantastic race
If any horse could be considered well-named then it is Roaring Lion. He has improved with every race this season and has really showed his class in this race.
Come on how fast that was... Unbelieveable! RL n SW in amazing speed. Dream of a horse like RL...
What a race 💥
Great race! Probably a cosy win for Roaring Lion, great acceleration at finish!
Is zin
Legend
Epic.
Roaring Lion is the most improved horse of 2018. He hasn't put a foot wrong since his third place in the Derby and is the best son of Frankel to be seen on a racecourse. A wonderful racehorse who will be sorely missed now that his retirement from racing has been announced after his win in the QEII.
Quidnunc... roaring lion is by kittens joy..
That was the best performance over 10f since Frankel.
He was a little crackerjack.
Such a sad loss. RIP
roaring lion ran 3 times against masar & never beat him!!!
Had to make up 4 lengths in the last 2 furlongs. What a horse. Better performance than York. Was there that day
Had 10pts on him today what a machine to watch. Only eclipsed by enable on her day who is different class. Top speed from RL
Happy Retirement Saxon Warrior! what it could've been with that will always be asked
Saxon warrior wins the Guinneas over a mile and hasn't raced at that trip since
Ryan Moore said he was disappointed at that. I remember Elm Park winning well at a newmarket mile. Balding skipped the 2,000 Guineas for the derby where he got beat 20 lengths.
Beaten by better horses , was never beaten far enough to blame the trip IMO
Watch out for Royal line 2019
The Savage lion
Looking at the time of this race puts it in context; a tactical affair designed by and for the Ballydoyle horses, but without their expect conclusion. (2:07.21, Golden won in 2:05.41, best time Sadler's Wells 2:00.90 in 1984)
4th win this fella has won me some money this season he owes ne nothing in fact I owe him .was worried for a bit 3 out with such a short straight .osien miles better than Attzieni
About 100 yards to the post, Saxon Warrior changes legs.
Ryan didn’t exactly go whip serious compared to Oisyn on Roaring Lion!
Had roaring lion in a double with too darn hot can’t I thought Saxon warrior had him there😅😅
Genaro Conte98 he probs would have Saxon warrior came off lame been retired this morning
He roared again.
Any lip readers here, what was Oisin Murphy saying to himself after he passed the post
"Thank F*ck I got there"!
Roaring Lion has proven himself world class this spring. Is there anything that has a legitimate chance of beating him in the BCS? Especially with SW heading back to the mile at Ascot?
B Gardiner Just a heads up, Saxons been retired mate and with poets word injured for the season, I don't think he has any dangers. Unless Cracksman turns up, the ground won't be fast then. 👍🏻
Zexzy thanks for the info mate... be good to see Roaring Lion v Cracksman but, as you say it will depend on the old going stick.
A few strides after the penultimate pole, Saxon changes his leg
When SW lugged right at the first left hand bend he looked to be in pain, thereafter he seemed unbalanced; I wonder if Ryan felt this, and worried about using his whip in case the horse broke down.
appreciated
Did Ryan Moore know you can use the whip in this race?
@amazed66, Not that saw, or at least not in the late stages inside the 2f marker where he should've given Saxon Warrior a couple of smacks, IMO. No shame in this loss for Saxon Warrior. He ran a great race, but just collared by a better horse on the day.
use the whip....are you really that thhhhickkkk ?...................have you ever seen a horse in real life ? amazing to find someone on youtube who knows more about horses than aidan o'brien and ryan moore.................................#whatacunt
He was too busy trying to get saxon warrior to switch leads
He never really uses a whip no amount of flogging will make a horse go faster than it can ..but I know what you mean about moore
@@edwardkent I was a bit more polite to him haaaaa
How many times has Ballydoyle had multi-entries in order to win tactically untrue-run races.
If the horse is good enough he has a right to run, there is nothing to stop any horse from picking up the pace at any stage if they wish to, Ballydoyle has won many Group 1's with second and third strings and sometimes even a fifth string in the case of Qualify.Should they have left those horses in the barn?
too often
you mustnt watch too many races?
Your comment is a load of $#!te, How many times this year has AP's unfavored runners won against their fancied stablemate Four times in the last 2 weeks and if you go back over the season you will probable see that they have won about 30% 0f the time
do you really have to reply with vulgar words? anyone with a notion would know not to back any of their tips Mr Weaver, Mick F and the rest are just on for the chat.but anyway why don't you tip a good priced horse for all to back as you seem to have it all sorted.
Won easy hardly touched him.Class.
Saxon Wanderer is a HYPE horse has been since before the Derby.
Oisin has hardly hit RL he has made up 5L in seconds.
Win me a big treble on the day with Kew Gardens and Madhmoon.
Have a look at the race again,didn’t touch him???? You need Glasses if you think he hardly hit him..
@@tonymahon5025 You need glasses as I never wrote “didn’t”
Is roaring lion a grey or a blue roan?
blue roans do not exist in thoroughbreds so Roaring Lion is a grey.
@@SketchyTheHorseGuy yes i know that there are only 3 colours used in english racing, He could still be a roan but classified as a grey.
Had me last £80on Saxon warrior thought he just pinched enough off a lead to hold on
James 84 unlucky
RIP CHAMP
The difference in size between roaring lion and Saxon warrior. Why does obrien need tactics to win.
Cmon goldikova
The easiest €500 I ever made what a beast the lion is
Easiest? It only won by a short head 🐴
Won with plenty in hand
He was so charismatic - tragedy. Why on earth did they send him out there for only his 2nd season at stud?

This is the race Winx should have come for to put her title on the line if her connections had sufficient intestinal fortitude.
She had time to run in this and then get back to Aus for their Cox Plate.
The race she won yesterday was worth more money! I agree she needs to race against Europes best to be considered the best but why dont the Europeans go there to take her on? Why should the Australians always have to travel? Cracksman, Enable, Saxon Warrior etc would give her a real test in the Cox Place.
Conan McLynn
Fair point.
I guess my attitude is that Cadel Evans didn't demand all the world's cyclists go to Australia to race him, he entered the Tour de France.
I think the issue is with Australia's quarantine rules. Those horses would be out of action at home for a long period at a very important time of the year if they travelled to Australia.
Also, the cox plate is run on a very non European style track.
I also agree and say that the best races are in Europe from a breeding perspective. For money she has no reason to travel. The prize money in Australia is better than here.
Moonee Valley is a Dog Track for sure.
LOL nonsense,Saxon Warrior has never even won over 2000m and the 3rd placed horse Deauville is a donkey,hardly a great race,Winx would destroy this lot
@@potatoncarrots the Cox Plate is run on a dog track with a very short straight. The Australians go slowly then sprint it at the end. Winx is a decent mare but could get found out with a true run 10 furlongs by top class horses.
I don't really like these race tactics that Ballydoyle use.
The best horse won, though in a fairer race he would have won by five lengths.
Saxon Warrior would have won that if the whip was used !
Oh and the 'lads' at Ballydoyle have excuse after excuse for Saxon Warrior not having remained unbeaten. Do me a favour ! Saxon Warrior 'injured' during the Irish Champion. Really ? Didn't look like it to me. Beaten once again by the superior Roaring Lion.
masar beat roaring lion 3 out of 3!!!
got to give it too the lion what a horse his name just doesn’t make him appeal to me. Saxon warrior hasn’t won all season
Shame he's now deceased from colic. Which in the horse world is called mis management.
Saxon Warrior wins the English guineas well. Touted to be the next Nijinsky. He isn't ... very few are.
He doesn't win again. (Why oh why do Ballydoyle never race him again over 8f ? Oh wait a minute. They run him in the Irish Champion over 10f. And the tactics are ... turn the race into an 8f race. And he STILL gets beaten because Roaring Lion is just too good a horse. RL had really no right to win the Eclipse or the Irish Champion, from the mid-race positions he found himself in. And he wins both. He is a true top-notch 10f horse and John Gosden is a genius. Saxon Warrior is just another Churchill. A two year old star who maintained his ability to win a guineas, but then quickly became overshadowed by superior horses from elsewhere.
PS For many years I've disliked the tactics Ballydoyle employs in big races. I think back to the day at York (Juddmonte) when Ballydoyle ganged up on Sea The Stars. But hey, he sorted them all out single-handedly.
