    That is strange. A friend of mine at work got a text from a friend who pays for tips out of the pipe yard with this horse. i don't trust the source so never backed it, but like you say, they must have known. Horse could run tomorrow it was so easy for it.

    Evening guys, it would appear today has been very much a hit and miss day on here. Well done to those who managed to pick a winner.

    In the 6.20 Wolverhampton ust picked up on one that ran a close 3rd LTO here TOUS LE DEUX 50/1 (EW) and has decent C&D form off a much higher weight than today and could run a very nice race again.

    Tonight in the 6.50 Wolverhampton ROYAL BAJAN 33/1 has lost his way a little lately; however, his trainer James Given has not and has a 26% strike rate on the all weather from 23 runners, which is about 1 in 4, his last win was some 5 races ago so he is well over due a winner.

    ROYAL BAJAN is his only runner here tonight and the only mount for James Sullivan. Whilst a little high in the weights he has C&D form and might have just needed the last couple of runs. I have won my fair share of money on this horse so he owes me nothing, his turn of foot or ability to lead from the front and blaze a trail is a great quality and even at 3lb above his best winning weight, at his best he has more than enough ability to win this race and is well worthy of an EW dabble, I know i will.

    Wayward, quality price mate and good race reading. Nice to get any result at Wolverhampton, never mind a 33/1 shot.

    Thanks guys, would have missed it but for my NAG ME

    Nice Dart :), i think i justfied my selection enough in my words to suggest at his best he could win. If i was as good at tipping as i was at darts i would be a millionare :).

    Unlucky with your selection today, i was on board as always but he couldnt find anything. McCoy was working hard on him well out, but then again AP often looks as if the horse isnt giving enough

    Good couple of shouts Eddie at Meydan.

    Not sure the good thing was ever travelling that well tbh and whilst the ride was abject he didn't have the tactical speed to get competitive.

    Longer trip or a straight mile next time would be my call although the Lockinge seems a little optimistic after that effort.

    SDS continues to unimpress although tbf the horse never travelled and lacked the pace to enter the race.

    He is also currently with the wrong connections to maximise any potential he ever had...past history is a witness to that much.

    Bollox Dex, he didnt have a yard to ****ing run, only a mug would judge the horse on that, he was travelling perfectly well, SDS had to drop back to try and pull out, all he found was traffic. He got no run from about 4 furlongs out, just the way the race panned out, in hindsight I dont what to be too hard on SDS, he just didnt get any sort of trip at all. Yet again, absolutely no doubt in my mind, the best horse in the race finished 3rd, and I would bet my ****ing life on it.

    At no point in the race did his tactical speed ever come in to question, the fact he won a slowly run race by 4 lengths on the bridle last time suggests he isnt lacking for speed at 1m1f.

    He is a serious player in the Duty Free this year, the two horses who finished in front of him today are not. FACT

    Just the same way I knew Mala Beach would have pished in the day he got forced through the rail, a fact which apparently evaded most punters considering his sp the other day.

    I stated very clearly on this forum that Mala Beach was a jailcase beat that day, I doubt many took notice and most probably considered it pocket talk, not that I gave a ****.

    And thats the last time I say anything is a jailcase on here again, because since Long Run, the 3 horses ive said that about have suffered from extraordinarily bad luck.

    5 pages debate about the King George, when it was blatantly clear that Long Run was different class.
