Think tomorrow's all about the ground. Rain forecast, but when and how much??? Think I'll just wait and see what way it goes before venturing...
Our Connor Shadow Catcher At Fishers Cross The Giant Bolster Salsify Make Your Mark (nap of the festival) Kid Cassidy I'm on Make Your Mark heavily at 20's mainly each way but all that is long gone. Runs off 133 and has another 6 lbs to come off with young Declan being a very able pilot. You can read the form yourselves but there is no way this horse is a 133 animal. Absolutely no way. I think he's got 17lbs in hand and with Declan's 6, 23lbs. I can't see this horse not winning this race so long as he gets a decent ride from the young jockey and can avoid trouble. Already 14's, 12's 10's and 8's with the major bookies this horse is going to land a right royal gamble tomorrow (I hope).
I love your confidence Bob (mines gone to heck since the first race yesterday ) but are you not concerned this Make your Mark is the biggest priced of the 3 Gigginstown runners or is that all part of the master plan??!
How significant is it that David Pipe relies on just Gevrey Chambertin to win his dad's race? Doesn't he usually have about half the field running for him?
Fair do's Bob that's a hell of a race, hope yours does the biz for you Was most intrigued by Tony Martins Edeymi in it (another Gigginstowner) as he, ahem, got an 'interesting' enough ride the last day but I've had no luck since Back in Focus yesterday and am rather annoyed at Marito's fall 2 out in the Jewson's as I had a decent bet at 33s on him and thought he'd be in the mix at least. Then I changed my mind from Solwit to Bog Warrier in the WH even though I told my mate to back the Sol and had tipped him in the 2013 Cheltenham preview so hoping my luck changes tomorrow
Hopefully Mr Nicholls will be amongst the winners tomorrow and I'm on the right ones. Some selections to get amongst including some placepot selections. Far West Eduardo Sol Utopia des Bordes Silviniaco Conti Paint the Clouds Ulck du Lin
Lac Fontana Ranjaan African Gold Sir Des Champs Tricky Trickster (I know I know) Village Vic I am not going to tell you which one I like in the last as you all will laugh
1:30 - Vasco Du Ronceray 2:05 - Olofi 2:40 - Aaim to Prosper 3:20 - Sir Des Champs/Long Run 4:00 - Tricky Trickster 4:40 - Gevrey Chambertin/Bourne 5:15 - Marshall Zhukov/Kumbeshwar
Well we'll laugh anyway then Go get your money back from Ranjaan Nass - he's carrying the Reebok roubles! Anyone know who is replacing Davy Russell on SDC tomoz? I assume Ruby won't be deserting SC ......
Hope it's Bryan Cooper but you can be sure WM will have a big input into this selection. I won't be on him financially regardless but wish whoever is riding him well. Paul Townend?..given where the horse is trained.
Get home ok did you? Hope you had a good time, would love to read a review by people who went to the festival this year, I will give one from my lofty position on the roof!!! Its Tatenen at a mere 50/1. I might also back the maestro on the monkey that is Kid Cassidy, I might....
I guess I'll be the first to put up Captain Chris with his form boosted today 12s looks big. I know Johnson loves this horse
