Very nicely done RV, good calls today, made the AOB hot pot look pretty average there

 

Whats that popping noise?Is that a sound of a bubble bursting?
Well done to the Cecil pair

 

Great ride from Ian Mongan, shame it beat Midday feel sure Ryan Moore would have won though

Young O'Brien has another stinker!

 

I can only go with what i think will win, but your right jinxed by Wayward again. Pleased for the second retainer jockey there, he wont get many Gp 1 wins as easy as that

 

Wayward: Please do NOT say Eagles Peak will win

 

ATD being that price was people purely following the yard, couldn't win on form or ratings

 

Exactly my point with the young O'brien jockey had a stinker!! If Ryan Moore was on may have been a different story!

 

Lovely shouts in the alst 2 RV. Might have to start following yours for the rest of the week!

 

lads - as for those blaming young O'Brien give your heads a shake he was well beaten on the horses ability compared to the front two, did nothing wrong

 

Luckily im with Our Joe Mac at 10/1 EW, but good luck with your selection too short for me in an open handicap race, whats with you going for short priced types ?

 

Someone rightly said that the form and stats were all against AwaitTheDawn (how many people even said they were backing him on here? Very few which i would suggest is a fair barometer in itself) so it's a tad harsh to knock the jockey.

And for those who love to claim that Ballydoyle are poor losers I hope you heard what thommo said about AoB going staright up to Cecil and congratulating him on the training performance. That's pure class.

On the Hoof punted in from 12s to 7s in the next - here's hoping.......

 

Wayward: Just fancied the Prince to have another good day! He has but with the wrong 2nd horse

O'Brien has always been gracious in defeat, that's one thing you can never say about him

Young O'Brien could be the next Adrian Nicholls

 

SNOW FAIRY NON RUNNER TMZ

Backed two of Hannons in the next - CAMPANOLOGY has leading form claims - MIDAS MEDUSA could still be capable of better and runs off a nice mark 9-1 and 66-1 both E.W

 

Hope ive not cursed your good run here RV, however, as much as i looked at the card i couldnt see past CAMPANOLOGY

 

I had a look at Campanology but have ended up going with Bomber Jet. Here's hoping!

 

Ohhhhh yeah!!!

 

Oh well, never mind he was all over the place there nicely timed run from Fallon to get up close home

 

Ah FFS =- the one Fallon horse i never backed well done gem - sensational call.

 

Nice ride from Fallon there
