I am watching the TVG live stream. Its a rare weekend at home. Very sad for Javier Castellano (sorry had the wrong name) but glad he’s not seriously hurt

Where was he riding?

Dammit, FS1 is delegating the GC and the other major stakes race today on FSapp only. In favor of Women’s Volleyball. FS1 On screen Channel guide still shows Horse Racing…TVG/Fanduel showing DM and KD. No Saratoga.

If you are going to contract to show something exclusively, don’t shuffle it to an App.

This is where I’m watching.

Does that work for you?

Great ride by Flavien Prat on Highland Falls.

Are the white chevrons on the sleeves of the Godolphin silks new? The blue also looks a bit darker than the solid blue (no chevrons) in Europe.

I didn’t pay attention, but I’ve always thought the Godolphin Silks were solid.

I was hoping for Arthur’s Ride or Tapit Trice.

No Chevrons in this photo from 2024:

They’re still solid in the UK/Europe; I don’t know about Australia. Unless my memory is faulty they’ve been solid blue in the US as well, which is why I wonder if it’s recent.

Chevrons on Prat’s sleeves for the JCGC. And Immersive, who won the Spinaway for Godolphin yesterday, also had the chevrons. Pic is on Blood-Horse.

Blue looks to be a shade and a half darker too.

Apparently Godolphin wants to jazz it up.

Maybe it’s just a US thing. Or it denotes homebred vs. purchase? Not that it matters, but I can’t help but be curious.
