    The Cheka must have a very good chance at goodwood, especially if he can repeat the last two runs and 9/4 is a very fair price!

    Pique Sous is due to make its hurdles debut today at cork, admittedly 1/3 isn't a good price but I'll be watching with interest nonetheless!

    Also think Poetic Lord will be very hard to beat under Richard Hughes in the last at goodwood!

    Have a good day everyone!

    Just the 1 for me today

    Coax 4.05 Bev, only ride for the inform Danny Tudhope (leading rider at Yorkshire tracks). And yes I was on the 'ingleby' double at Redcar last night at 16s and 8s!!!!

    Also think Man City are a steal at 7/5 at Anfield

    Afternoon guys.

    Back from Magaluf a few hours ago (oh the shame <laugh> ).


    One tale I wanted to share with you. On Wednesday afternoon I was sat in Mulligans bar with my friends in the Magaluf strip- they put the racing at York on (<yikes>) and Frankel got a standing round of applause from everyone watching the televisions. What an utter superstar. Racing in Magaluf- bizarre?!

    On the bridle wasn't he?! Jesus.

    Hope you are all well anyway- I need a few days recovery <laugh>

    Hello lads.

    Nothing for me again today.

    Stoke "fans" booing Ramsey when he came on after getting his leg broken there a couple of seasons ago.

    Poor form.

    Backed Zumbi lto and was given an awful ride.

    Decided against backing him today when I saw the same jockey booked.Wise move and another Dobbs masterclass.

    He had the chance to come on the outside with a clear run two out but decided to head inside into the pack.Shocking decision.

    Definitely a decent race in Zumbi though and he is still improving.

    Im absolutely amazed, a 2yo group race was actually won by the horse with the best form, a rare sight this season, if Obrien trained it it would have been 5/4 fav on the form of that win in a listed race last time. Nice to see Andy Oliver have a nice 2yo on his hands, he does well with little ammunition.
