    TAKE IT TO THE BANK

    THE FRANKEL FORM STACKS UP BOYS. He's not the greatest ever for no reason.

    Seriously guys, anything that has Frankel form mixed in with superb runs in a Prince Of Wales and a Juddmonte has to be taken very seriously. Farrh was Godolphins best horse by a mile last season.

    Also, they set the race up for him there- they went a hell of a clip! Farrh stays 1m 2f strongly so he loved that. Get in! <cracker>

    Cheers George mate <cheers>

    I've got plenty else wrong this season when you've been right <cheers>


    Hope you know what I meant with Cityscape earlier- didn't mean anything strongly against him or anything like that, just a comparison of form that was all <ok>

    Well done Wooly and Reebs on Hallelujah just seen it, nice one. Well done Faharr backers as Simon Holt and Channel 4 are calling him.

    Cityscape hasn't run his race tbf to him, fingers crossed it's just that he needed the run. That was incredible from Farhh though, has to be taken very seriously as you say. I think the older mile division looks there for the taking.

    Haha I doubt that Toppy! <laugh>

    Yes Farhh did win that impressively and well done to those who backed him but if the form of that race works out to be good then i will be amazed. Farhh was miles to good for them but Aljamaheer is not a placed group 1 horse and never will be. Declaration Of War needed to improve and he hasnt. Aside from the winner the horses in that race are average at best

    Nice win by Farhh - could mop up the G1 miles this year if he stays sound

    Agree with that. It looked a weak race at the start with one horse with real genuine top class form, and so it proved.


    Farhh will probably be shorter than he should be when we see him at Ascot, but I won't comment until we know his opposition, which could include Camelot I believe?

    That's me for the day, good luck for those playing on <ok>

    I'm off in the motorhome to Cornwall for a week or three, so I'm expecting only moderate internet use. If I fail to enter any competitions ------ no one will notice <laugh>

    I'm also expecting to drink a few bevvies! We did the tourist trip around Skinners Brewery in Falmouth last year. £5 entry, plus as much as you can drink in their internal staff/customer bar. With no real time limit. Recommended! Nice people too - as we were leaving I staggered across the car park and dropped a 5 litre jug of cider I had bought from them. They replaced it gratis, although I did have to endure the jibes from friends for days afterwards!

    Have fun lads :)
