    Hello lads PN and Epona.

    Still on a redundancy/birthday/Ray Milland Lost Weekend bender..anyone remember that movie?

    Anyhow,nowt for me today but keeping an eye on the decs for Harpsy Cords novive chase at DP on Wed..hopefully Fully Funded stands his ground and makes a price.He ran a lovely race LTO before tiring and is with a great family dynasty for training chasers.

    Hasta mas tarde.

    BTW some great shouts today.Special mention to the Stick fella for the 9/1 shot..top tipping and what a roll you're on.

    Morning all, just running millions of stats through my computer, it takes about an hour, the programme includes information like who's birthday it is, who died on a particular date, biorhythmns (can never spell that) of jockies trainers horses and owners, so you can see it's very comprehensive, it even factors in the daily tipping of all the tipsters, and the actual price on betfair. Got to stop now the nurse is coming with my medication, back in an hour.

    The maiden at Southwell took my eye last night because of some interesting sire statistics -

    Horse - Sire - Sire Winning %
    Linroyal Boy - Giant's Causeway - 22.9
    Somerset Island - Barathea - 9.6
    Swinger - Singspiel - 17.6
    Apassionforfashion - Beat Hollow - 10.2
    Ruby Do - Imperial Dancer - 0.0
    Burning Passion - Gentleman's Deal - 0.0
    Dubai Sunshine - Dubawi - 27.8
    Henry George - Zamindar - 6.8
    King's Wharf - Clodovil - 13.3
    Zenaad - Henny Hughes - 0
    Cape Safari - Cape Cross - 11.5
    Dewala - Deportivo - 25.0

    So top percentage -

    Dubai Sunshine - 27.8
    Dewala -25.0
    Linroyale Boy - 22.9

    Dubai Sunshine is a positive selection here, has the best form, been gelded, right yard, right jockey, right trip and a fair enough price too. The two newcomers are respected whilst Zenaad is interesting as it has a real US dirt pedigree, I would not be surprised to see the forecast filled with those four horses.

    30/70 stake still, but a more confident bet than of recent times.

    Each way bet to nothing - money back if Dildar proved he can jump and chance of a profit if he can't.
    Don't see there being 3 horses in the race that can finish ahead of him assuming he too can jump....

    Yeah sorry didn't specify e/w. This is from Rebecca Curtis's stable tour so I'm hopeful he can jump "Schooled and is a brilliant jumper but like a lot of the older flat horses, he came a little bit sour he's sweetened up well now. I think he'll be a nice hurdler."

    Dildar probably will win though

    Morning, all. I quite like a couple of Mr Henderson’s today. One over the sticks and one on the old level at Southwell Sands. The term ‘the sky’s the limit’ certainly applies to FOURTH ESTATE (2.50 Folkstone) and he looks to have the potential to be very smart over timber. Won the same Ayr bumper in 2011 that Sprinter Sacre won 12 months previously and should oblige on his hurdling bow. SISTINE (1.30 Southwell Sands) runs in quite possibly the strongest ever 46-65 amateur riders heat ever staged at the course but she should go close off just 59 and will certainly benefit from being stepped up to 14 furlongs. Another plus point, of course, is that she has a lovely name for a filly.

    Good luck one and all.

    After a visit to a whorehouse a man notices a green lump on his dick so he goes to the doctors. "That's serious" says the doctor, "you know how rugby players can get a cauliflower ear?"

    "Yes" replied the man nervously

    "Well" says the doctor "you've got a brothel sprout"

    Oddy are you insinuating that Rugby players "hump" Cauliflowers?

    A couple of interesting entries for the juvenile hurdle at Sandown on Saturday:

    Early Applause (Charlie Hills) - can't remember his dad having many runners over the sticks ............... is Charlie taking the yard in a new direction?
    Lyvius (Mr Henderson) - German bred gelding owned by Trevor Hemmings

    John Ferguson has Creekside in there and Nick Williams sends impressive Newbury winner Urbain De Sivola. Could be a nice race.

    Interesting read Nass. Couldnt you throw Quevega into the race as well?

    Anyone got any views whether Boston Bob goes to the Neptune or the Albert Bartlett?

    Oddy, Daddy Barrington used to have the occasional NH runner as well. Early Applause runs tomorrow incidentally against Creekside at Ludlow (if it&#8217;s on that is).

    Lyvius is an interesting one but Mr Henderson has said that this term his juveniles aren&#8217;t as strong as in previous years. You can get for 40/1 the old Triumph.
