Shergs that I thought you were on about the money I borrowed for a personal reason not long ago. I forgot about that thread I did indeed borrow money once so I could have a bet I stand corrected but my pay day was due. Wasn't getting in debt to gamble without having money to cover it. My apologies
Glad we've sorted that out. I don't think there are many stalkers who stalk young guys in there 20s, certainly not male stalkers anyways
Absolutely agree with you there Ron - Hoof It will be the top sprinter this year I think and I'll be backing him a few times I suspect. As for Frankel, I'm expecting a win but Excelebration could come close. The front three in the betting look like a very likely exacta to me - Frankel-Excelebration forecast and Frankel-Excelebration-Strong Suit exacta is the winning bet here I think (hope).
I think the odds for Pricewise to put put Frankel up on saturday will be longer than Frankel to win- he should do it just for fun
My only concern would be fitness because he was still quite big when he worked on 2000 Guineas day. No doubt Cecil has put the work in since then but I'd be expecting him to come a fair bit for the run. He does look to have strengthened up still further and defeat is hard/impossible to envisage.
I must say he only has to run once too- So technically (Hope this doesnt happen) he could run on saturday- then go lame and get retired and I still win!!
I was reading an article this morning about how channel 4 had got boring. of course no mention was made of horse racing. It is a pity that the channel dont publicise his reappearance more. Frankel racing is a lot more interesting than the rest of the drivel they put on
I think 11/4 and 5/2 about Excelebration in the Lockinge might be the worst price I have ever seen. His percentage chance of beating Frankel, let alone winning the race, is nowhere near 27%. An absolutely awful price.
