    In the 8.35 Newmarket WIGGY SMITH 20/1 EW looks to be very well treated and should go well fresh at the ripe old age of 13, ground conditions and distance are in his favour and he should be involved in the shake up.

    Evening gays!

    Just watched todays racing- bonfire ran very smoothly! Although im not sure if he can take it to camelot, and will he stay the trip? His pedigree has doubts about it Am pleased he won (had a cheeky tenner on him, nearly changed my mind to the obrien donkey) but well done to everyone who had a winner today and am please Fury finally won he deserved it ran well this season!

    Evening WF. Will be stunned if Bonfire is good enough to win the Derby. Would rather have something like Imperial Monarch over him. Camelot to win it easily though. Only two weeks tmz for the Oaks/Derby meeting :)

    I think Noble Mission is good value @ 20/1 I may have to to take some of that. Did I see he was running this weekend?

    The oaks I fancy the Obrien horse to win- depends if JOB gives her another ride like the guineas if he does then no chance, if he can ride her sensibly (not like hes been doing lately) then she will piss it!

    Nope need to look at the replays first. The Godolphin horse is interesting but they just keep ****ing up the horses they get from Fabre <doh>

    Richard Hughes just totally out rode Buick in that 3 runner race at Newmarket. Although i think all most of us want from our jocks is that they allow the horse it's full chance by avoiding poor positioning or weak finishing etc it is a joy to see a great ride that makes the difference.William Buick completely thought he was controlling the pace, Hughes dropped in behind a little and then got really low in the saddle, unlike him, and then injected pace when he least expected it and won the race a long way out. A joy to see, even though not a penny on the race.

    Blue across the board on oddschecker and I am not surprised.

    See Buick get "mugged off" by Hughes in the 3 runner.....class, teach the upstart a lesson LOL

    I like this ALDEDASH in the last with Fallon on. A 4yo with not too many miles on the clock, still open to considerable improvement unlike many in the field.
