Thursday 17th: Daily Thread- "The Dante"

I'm on Brusilini as well Heis - great shout on the winner of the last. Gutted Star of Rohm was pipped for a place.

 

Third is not bad at all.

 

funny enough Ron was watching the last episode of Black Adder Goes 4th, im x millitary but can not imagine what the trench was like, the line i used about the cheese eaters was from the simpsons

 

cheers Quel, i am pleased with 3rd and with pp bog sneak a few more points backed it at 12s earlier

 

Finally a winner. Its been a **** week

 

well done Shearer. They don't pick themselves at York. Tough meeting.

Had a terrible day punting. Off to study the rest of Newmarket see if luck can change

I know. I guessed it was a well known phrase so I Googled it.

 

I see there's a New Approach filly in the first at Newmarket tomorrow. Have any of his offspring raced?

 

Yes Ron and this one looks well above average http://www.racingpost.com/horses/ho...=horse_race_record&bottomHorseTabs=horse_form

 

Just checked up. This is his second ever runner. The first was Dawn Approach who has won 2 from 2 (both beating Canary Row)

Afnoon next

 

Blimey, just got in and was proven well wrong yet again. Bonfire very smart. Joey O'Brien- what sort of a pace were you setting on Ernest Hemingway?! Mentalist.


Izzi Top fulfilling some promise now it seems.

Pearl Secret a smart sprinter?


Some nice types out tonight at Newmarket and one I should have mentioned in the opening post of this daily thread because I was bigging up breeding, was Obboorr of Roger Varians in the 7.35. Cape Cross out of a 4th in the 1000 Guineas. Reminds me a lot of a horse they unleashed in a maiden last year at big odds called Oojooba. Thought that looked a horse with a pedigree worth following. That aside, I think my Derby analysis leaves Camelot and Bonfire as the big two as it stands. Mandaean was disappointing.

 

Having a go on 6.25 Newmarket Button Moon 25/1. I think he's on a decent enough handicap mark off 82 with his effort at the track back in September when beaten 1L by Murura reading very well off a mark of 83. Murura is an animal I rate very highly who only found the very progressive Maarek too good on his only subsequent start. Trainer Ian Wood's last runner ran so hopefully his horses are coming into good form and I think the step back to 5f will suit. Not a big bet but worth a play.

 

Evening guys, hope youve all been lucky today, one i fancy runs in the 6.25 Newmarket HAAJES 12/1 EW, off a great mark and has shown signs of getting back to winning ways soon.

 

...............And is the stables only runner here tonight, a long way to come for one ride

 

Right have backed CONTINUUM in the next because he is from a family connections do really well with. Brother to Passage Of Time/Father Time
