For what it's worth Bet Victor going 11/2 Atletico. Can't see this one out of the frame. Let's just hope I'm not saying after the race "Can't see this one; out of the frame" In fact, Mr Bean and Roger Varian could have a good evening
I know Ron I know. She really is a lovely person though mate. I was fortunate enough to meet her at Chelmsford last year (she came to speak to me so no stalking involved) and she was simply sweetness itself.
Just seen the decs for the Great Voltigeur on Wednesday - 8 runners, 4 by Frankel, 3 by Galileo and 1 by High Chaparral! A tad Sadler's Wells heavy
Amazing how many times after the race, the lovely Ms Turner pipes up that she has ridden that one before. There was Squats, the winner of the Newbury handicap before the Hungerford, which had not won since 2014 (twice behind Librisa Breeze last year). I looked and she rode it when it was second on 8th August 2015 – beaten by Frank! Four wins from 25 starts – three as a juvenile – does not make it look like one I would remember so fondly.
Rumour has it that harkers horse is supposed to win the 8.00, I believe there was someone on these boards who had contacts in the yard? Would be interesting to know anything further as there are really no positives about this horse bar it's been shortened into 13/8
Having touted the lad as one well worth his claim he has made a right pigs ear of that. Seemed to get the horse unbalanced at a critical stage! That horse will be winning soon.
Shout with whipphound unlucky with the double did too much too soon, tried running them into the ground but didn't quite pull it off
We both had the winner UC but not the fcast I cannot believe I havent backed that in a single...been watching the price contract all frigging day!
The only trouble was no 15 was only a few lengths behind Ice a while back and there was a big weight swing that I didn't want to ignore
