    Some nice types in that last race at Taunton,not least the winner.

    Oddy I'm afraid your selection was another schooling in public shocker.Not saying it would have won by any means but was never ridden to maximise it's finishing position.

    Thats the reason I never play in these races.Hard enough to work out who is actually running on merit never mind finding the winner!!

    True enough Dex, you never know which ones will be ridden to win and which ones "will not be given a hard time"

    Been out all day and just looked at video of last at Lingfield. Unbelievable, Dar Es Salaam was virtually tailed-off 4 out, yet plugged away, picked them off one by one to finish a closing half-length second. Unfortunately McCoy wasn't riding it..................<yikes>

    No, Oddy, never had the pleasure! Know little or nothing about Tanzania and East Africa in general, but the other side - ah yes! All the nice places, Angola (hell of a lot better now), Nigeria, ...................and on to Liberia. Moderately exciting now and again!

    On that race, nice quiet ride that girl gave the hoss?.........<grr>

    Great shouts by various today, well done on that big price 2nd Ches, nice e/w return mate!

    Tough couple of days at work, getting my head around the corporate world Oddy!


    Get on Freddie Tylicki and James Given e/w here as they combine on HIDDEN GLORY 20/1 at Wolverhampton 6.30.


    Finally back to a gtood All-Weather mark (rated as high as 88 on this surface in recent times), and statistically it is his preferred surface. Will take a canny ride around the tight Wolverhampton bend, but there was signs of a return to form off a slipping mark last time, and I think he is real e/w value at that price.
