It is good to see Henry Cecil doing well and the fact he has the ante post favourite for The Oaks is great to see. Passage Of Time looked great when he won in Paris last autumn.Passage Of Time win in The Criterium de St.Cloud brought was Cecil's first Group One winner since 2000 with Beat Hollow.What does everyone think about this horse?

Passage of Time is a filly. She is expected to run in the Musidora Stakes at York next week. My interpretaion is that she'll be @ 85% wound up and unless there is another decent entrant then she will come through and win. Connections have still to confirm whether she goes to Epsom or instead heads off again to France for the Prix de Diane. Her pedigree, IMO, does not scream 12 furlongs but it should be within her capabilities. If her stamina following next weeks's race is inconclusive then she may well head to Chantilly.

HRAC has a number of interesting entries over the next week and a cloase eye should be kept on all of those animals running in the Oaks/Derby trials. However, unless one of them really leaps forward I think his best prospect for the year could be Phoenix Tower who won a conditions event at Windsor yesterday. All being well he's headed for the St James Palace stakes at the Royal meeting.

Henry Cecil for me is the finest trainer of his generation (Sir Michael Stoute following closely behind). I still get goose bumps recalling some of the fantastic horses that he, through his great skills, was able to nurse to their full potential (Bosra Sham was a real favourite of mine). I hope Passage of Time does do the the business and Henry sets the flags flying at Warren Place one more time.

I'm reliably informed when HRAC does have a really decent animal in his care that he's not frightened to train them really hard, if required. That may have been a contibuting factor to his estrangement with Sheik Maktoum. The truth of what happened there will only ever be known to those involved.

For what it's worth, since that event HRAC has had to contend with some really difficult times on & off the track but it does make me think where the Godolphin operation would be right now if he'd been involved with them rather than having to endure his time in the wilderness. Thankfully, the Niarchos family & more significantly Juddmonte did keep the faith and let's hope it does work out for the great man this year.

Yes, the death of his twin devastated him for a while and the alleged activities of his former wife didnt help either. If it wasnt for all of that he would've been knighted by now.
