Evening all.. Hope everyone is well. Here to pass on Luscivious in the 3:40 @ Southwell as well as to canvass opinions on the day's racing specifically at Doncaster which is where I'll be heading tomorrow. It'll be interesting to see how Ile De Re progresses on his second start; and I think ill be interested in this Ian Williams horse. Don't particularly like Prince Of Pirates in the second but don't know which other one I'd be interested in opposing him with. The next Henderson hot pot looks a much more solid proposition in my opinion in the form of Tour D'argent. I'll take Lively Baron in the next due to change in weights from previous meeting plus the value that each will represent. A Bridge To Far & River D'or will probably make up my nezt few bets, whilst I love the colours of Bamboleo in the bumper and will probably plump for that. Very easily persuaded by others with more knowledge in NH Sphere. Should be a good day Best of Luck everyone.
Sod off Catty. That is my nap tomorrow and I didn't manage to get the 9/2 from Bill Hills. Best take the 10/3 on offer now.
Sorry, not sod off to catty, but rather how frustrating that I decided to wait and see if 5/1 would be offered in the morning. I like the Queens horse in the novice race and I think it will have your selection to beat
Glad someone put the Daily Thread up. Am I the only one thinking that 4/1 Unaccompanied is an insult ? I am wearing blinkers for this one because I have raided the ante post market for the first time in years and given Voler La Vadette's performance today connections are likely to be even less keen to enter the Mares race now, but in a Champion Hurdle that could be a weak renewal a horse with enough speed to slam St Nicholas Abbey on the level yet stay on up the hill despite hitting traffic in the Triumph, she would go there with a real chance for me, 4/1 for tomorrow is a cracking price. 7 runners means just the two places but I can only see Thousand Stars standing in her way...
off to leopardstown tomorrow but like many i'm dissapointed mr muillins has pulled the fly out of the hurdle-i'll be doubling up on thousand stars and hidden cyclone-anyone have any other fancies,alot of short price favs on the card
Onya Wildcats! Nap today and only bet will be: 13:00 Kelso - Getting Ready (Form of debut race at Wetherby, in which he ran well over 2m4f in a big field, could be strong. Course and distance this time may be a bit sharp for him but, nevertheless, has an obvious chance in this event, and has a decent speed figure from his only run so far. Will take a price probably, when the bookies open-up this morning). GL today everyone! (Now 09:30 GMT and 9/2 generally available).
What a fantastic couple of days it's been for the old bloke. Synchronised (8-1) in the Lexus yesterday and Le Beau Bai (10-1) in the Welsh National the day before, who can blame me for having a another crack today. I like a slog, so it's Kelso today. With the going a bit on the soft side, and a course that seems to have a bit of clay in the surface, I thought Super Ally who has good recent form over the longer trip, and loves the course, might just play a big hand. Switching back to the fences after a hurdle win scares me a little though. Kelso. 14:45. Super Ally.
Grizzly - Unaccompanied is a cracking bet today. Had a pipe opener when cantering all over Sailors Warn and I honestly think she is up to taking this today. I've never rated Thousand Stars that highly, I think he has been mopping up some weak races (the Morgiana was a joke of a Grade 1) and today is the day that this elegant lady bursts upon the Champion Hurdle scene.
Cyc: Good day to you! You are in splendid form with two great winners (I was amazed with Synchronised, must say). Well done! You are right about Kelso, with the clay aspect soft or heavy is a real slog, although in fact Kelso is a sharp course for both fences and hurdles. Uphill finish evens things up a big though. Will take a look at Super Ally, but will be having my own bet shortly when I get round to seeing if my bookie is up and about..............
Morning Swanny. Hope you get among 'em mate. The problem with hitting a winner or two, is that a **** load of losers are just around the corner.
Morning all first time I have been confident of finding some winners in ages. Will play as the races come along but the NAP today is TURN OVER SIVOLA 3.30 Doncaster 100/30 (BOG) This one is highly regarded by Alan King (thought to be as good as Montbazon).Althought Montbazon hasn't achieved what was expected yet he still has a good level of form and ran very well on his hurdling debut. Turn Over Sivola shaped with plenty of promise on debut behind the potentially high class Population at Ascot. He travelled very strongly throughout the race before weakening late on. The trainer had suggested he would need that outing and the market seemed to confirm this as he drifted right out to 8/1 having been a 7/2 chance earlier on in the day. I do fear John Ferguson's runner Red Devil Boys as he has a line through the selection with Population as mentioned earlier but I am willing to take a chance that Turn Over Sivola has a touch of class and has come on a lot from his debut.
Cyc: Say that again! Bookie up before me, and got 9/2 which'll do me fine as was expecting less...................
Morning chaps Grizzly - Oddy: with you all the way with Unaccompanied, took the 4's last night BOG as I think Thousand Stars has a lot more suppporters, and she may drift a tad. Pricewise has tipped her and Alex Hammond as well just for good measure! Not going to be watching as I have some seasons visiting to do but will tv+ it and watch later
Agreeing with me is often a short cut to the poor house mate ! I hate betting each way with 7 runners but this has to be a 2 horse race so 4/1 makes it a free bet if she's beaten into second, they should be more like 2/1 each of two, maybe the better bet is to lay Thousand Stars ? I got some 36 on Unaccompanied for the Champion a week or so ago and saw last night she was around 26s, the move I assume is more to do with the Fly and questions over his wellbeing. Good luck !
Is anyone familiar with the US comedy show "It's Always Sunny In Philiadelphia" with Danny DeVito? I think they are already up to season 7 but I've never seen a single episode and am about to start "catching up". Is it any good? I think Danny DeVito is hilarious so here's hoping ........................
Some serious tipping Cyc, 10/1 and 8/1. No wonder Wooly's getting nervous about the semi final; even tried to get a re-draw.
