Hi all - re Abdulla horses - why Buick jocked off golden horse but happy chops Moore still on stoute horses ?
Thought i'd dip in for the C4 races, after a long absence. Can't oppose Kingman but not my sort of price. so at Sandown 2-05 Burning Thread 7/1 3.15 Ladys First [ew] 9/1 3.50 Vasily [ew] 16/1 Beverley 2.40 York Glory 5/1 Chester 2.55 Marcret [ew] 16/1 3.30 Savanna La Mar [ew] 10/1
I see Channel 4 are still doing there normal of trying to cram too much in to their program - 8 races today - multiple advert breaks which means very little analysis of runners and being able to look at the horses.... plus for me Graham Cunningham seems to be getting more and more pompous and is becoming more irritating...They should have done 4 races at Sandown and say the one at beverley... we dont need chester as well!! Just done a small each way bet on Dungannon 8/1 GP E/W
Because he will be riding it next year, so it made sense for him to ride it now and get to know it. The other ones are exposed handicapers so there was no need to change jockeys
Burning Thread goes in for Captain Christy, and didn't he do it well. I think my Joe Packett EW got fourth which due to the withdrawals pays bugger all.
2.45 Newton Abbot No Woman No Cry - backed the Tizzard's charge last time out over hurdles where 2m3f proved too sharp behind Thursday's runaway winner Sugar Hiccup. No Woman No Cry was badly outpaced that day but did stay on nicely and the step back up in trip today should suit. This is only his second run over fences, his first try at the bigger obstacles ending in a refusal at the 11th fence at Worcester over 2 years ago. You'd have to think he's had plenty of schooling since then and he did look like he was putting it all in last time out. I think his mark over fences could be very lenient and I wouldn't be surprised to see him run up a sequence, starting today. Good luck everyone
Backers of York Glory just got Jamied... over complicated his tactics travelling like a dream but behaved like he knew the race had an extra furlong and none of the other jocks did. In my opinion if anyone would like the experience of being Jamied there may be another opportunity on Rich Again in the 3.05, It's a 5f race and Rich again stays 6f well, he does not need holding up in a five furlong race, will he be dropped out though anyway by Jamie?.
