    Mourinho is not a Utd style manager---- he is a cynical guy, means to an end, entertainment is low down on his list of priorities--one thing about all fergies teams, they go on the attack-- opposite of jose and his poisonous style--ever wondered why he don't stay long at clubs......

    notice that Conrad Allen has an 'unraced' animal in this----a very shrewd trainer--betting doesn't always reveal the truth either--he gets plenty in at monster odds....

    I remember years ago when El Gran Senor was a red hot favourite for the Derby. He was sired by Northern Dancer. But, in Racehorses, I found another Northern Dancer son who looked better bred for the Derby and went for him (Secreto). What a battle that was but Secreto emerged the winner, just outstaying El Gran Senor.

    Maybe there is another New Approach son who has a pedigree more suited to 12f and we will see something like that Secreto/El Gran Senor battle. It will be interesting to see how Hasheem runs today. By New Approach he looks to be more suited to 12f than Dawn Approach. Are there any others that fit the bill?

    One of very few sires who have a Southwell win on his resume is Ransom O'War.

    On ‘Oddschecker’ they are reporting that one of the most popular bets right now is very decent money for Ferguson to be crowned ‘Sports Personality of the Year’ and he’s as low as 2/1.

    The next manager market is fluctuating more than the old weather at the minute. Moyes now odds-on in several places and Mourinho as big as 2/1 with some bookie chappies. Dear old ‘Arry Redknapp, Steve ‘Brucie’ Bruce and Fat Sam Allardyce all remain 66’s though!

    Royal Flag is a half brother to Farrh, but is unraced. Genius Boy is half brother to Coquet but unraced (both are Godolphin so possibly in the Al Zarooni issue). Libertarian is in the Dante.

    Interesting how many of his progeny that Godolphin are in ownership of.

    going to do a mad L15

    Captain Dunne 7/1 3 15 Chester-- hope ground stays dry--Easterby loves this race

    Shadie Sadie 25/1-2 35 Kelso- handicap debut , up in trip, stable in top order.

    Grivola 12/1 --3 25 Southwell -- Conrad Allen and martin Dwyer found a weak maiden

    Mandeville 13/2 8 30 Newcstle-- Dods yard in superb form--first time out seems the time to catch them.

    just my optimistic opinions, but thats what its about....good luck to all, whatever your choices.

    Horse racing markets are so dull at the moment compared to the football ones which are going into an absolutely meltdown right now. I see, for instance, that Ladbrokes and William Hill now make Man City favourites for next terms Premier League after sustained support.

    Looks all over in the next manager market though. Moyes now 1/4, Mourinho 4 and its 16/1 Bar the pair. So overjoyed as in my opinion Moyes will destroy them.

    I fancy BATTALION 3.50 haggas is flying at the mo and this horse was down to run at Newmarket and was withdrawn at the start on 'vets advice' and has a derby entry too 8/1 is massive and an ew bet for free imo. good luck if you play today ;)

    On second thoughts, lively outsiders at 1000/1 are Jürgen Klinsmann and Mark Hughes. Now, there's a pair..................and good luck! :emoticon-0112-wonde

    Cheers Nass.

    I've a feeling we may not yet have seen the Derby winner this season. The ones I've highlighted look interesting as does Kingsbarns.

    my concern with Buckland is that they are running the horse to avoid the penalty, often see trainers saying they are 'forced' to run--- when a horse carries about 8lb of ****, you only need to get rid and the penalty has gone--- colonic wash for horses ....

    if I had to pick something in the Chester Cup I would go for Pipe's horse Investissement, who ran so well in an Ebor. Nasty little race though, must try and watch it on TV.

    Did someone on here put Limegrove up lto? I can't remember but for some reason the name rings a bell. Seems to me on collateral form to be ahead of the front 3 in the betting in the first at Chester so seems great value at 10/1 top 3 paid.

    14:45 Chester - Tominator

    (2011 winner of Northumberland Plate and listed handicap winner at this track over 13f last September. Seems to act on any going, and has some stout breeding, especially on sire's side. Chester Cup always a difficult race to find the winner, so small punt at 11/1).

    GL to everyone today! <ok>
