My opinion is a mile stretches US Navy Flag further than is optimum for him. He was impressive as a 2YO over 6f in the G1 Middle Park Stakes and again at 7f in the G1 Dewhurst Stakes, but frankly he's looked like a horse vulnerable to other horses who can see a mile out thoroughly in both this race and in the French 2000 Guineas. I think O'Brien should at least consider trying him as a 6f sprinter or a 7f specialist. Races like the Hungerford Stakes, Park Stakes, Lennox Stakes, or even the Prix de la Foret, I suspect, would probably suit US Navy Flag right down to the ground. With the royal meeting just right around the corner, perhaps even a run in the G1 Commonwealth Cup over 6f might bring back the best out of him again? Or as the gentlemen below mentioned in his comment, maybe a drop in grade and distance for the G3 Jersey Stakes over 7f could do the trick, although the Jersey almost always without fail ends up being a really tough G3 for any horse to win, IMO.
@Kev Johnstone, It still could end up suiting him, because this year's renewal of the race hasn't been run yet. But I agree, I think a drop in trip to either 6f for the Commonwealth Cup or 7f for the Jersey Stakes, if they send him to Royal-Ascot, would be hugely beneficial to U S Navy Flag, IMO.
dominic spiller Finally the penny drops. The market is based on form. Computers do that better than humans. Where is the advantage in understanding form if the market reflects it accurately. Picking winners for profit is very hard. Reality , horses are not machines. Ride one and you will get this. Trainers and owners, take care of themselves. This is a natural human characteristic in all areas of life. Its the survival instinct. The selfish gene. Bookmakers provide a service. In the long run they have to make money to feed their shareholders , employees, kids. Punters are at war with each other in reality. Some punters actually won on this animal which was paid for by all the other loser punters . If you do not like the odds do not play. Arguing with reality is suffering dude.
What a performance, fell out the stalls as well lol, well done

GBeret83 the jersey stakes over 7f at Ascot would of suited him down yo the ground

what a ride!!! perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't it funny that this winner chased home a recent Derby winner in Masar at Sandown last season.
GOOD STUFF!!!!!!!!!
the jockey 👌👌
I didn't even have a bet in the race, there are only a couple smart 3 year olds around this season and none were in that race. Form is moderate.
Great result for the bookies again so great I bet punters can’t wait to bet tomorrow it’s great to lose all your money to the bookies
paul morgan it’s hard for favourite backers, the people who’ll stand in the bookies day after day backing favs and lose anyway
paul morgan it would be difficult to make it pay backing 4-5 horses each race, unless you have at least a 20/1 winner surely?
I feel sorry for William Buick on SYMBOLIZATION
Why
horse got really badly boxed in ,would have won otherwise
Buick often gets horses in bad positions
+Barry Corcoran I don't notice that actually ,will look at that .Cheers
This race caller consistently mangles the names that are not English or Irish. Sad...
Effe O Jim crooley. .
Actually, in the straight he kept saying “Gustav Plimpt”
lol
Rem Remy he does as well haaaaa
Shocking race. Form means nothing
