A cracking card at Stratford tomorrow; Have a couple of fancies- so will be putting them in a small double too. 15.20 - Woolcombe Folly- 4/1 My name sake is back out again after a quick turnaround. Has looked back to some of his old form the last few couple of runs. His run 7 days ago at worcester- was unlucky as lost out to Anquetta. Altho the old folly would be beating that field hands down, he is getting back to himslef and this field doesn't look nearly as strong as the last one and is on the same mark. Not only that will love the ground and with Harry Derham on board taking off 5lbs everything in his favour and should finally be in the winners enclosure again! 16.20- Prospect Wells 4/5 Is the class horse in the field by far and should win this very easily. Stamped his authority beating a very good Alan King horse Meister Eckhart at fontwell, then ran at aintree where he was 8/9 with only Raya Star behind him. Altho not that kind of standard he should have too much for this field
Best road race in the world was a wash out...shame...one of the few benefits of my temporary hiatus in NI. The hair standing on your neck as they approach...no picture just the engine noise getting closer and closer and closer until they jump Primrose Hill at 160mph before gearing down to a 30mph hairpin before cranking up to 205 mph on station a mere 400m later...proper racing..20 bikes line abreast. ****ing love it!
Get on the dog and bone to Uncle Steve will ya Bob. I fancy his MAKE ME A FORTUNE 5.00 and BRUNSWICK GOLD 4.00 today. Give us the heads up for a man size punt ;-) Good luck Wooly but I seriously would not be touching PROSPECT WELLS with the proverbial bargepole today. Yes he is the class horse in the race but he has never been particularly fluent over hurdles and hasnt really looked like he would make a chaser. No value in him today for me!
