    They should have turned up with the right footwear.

    Criteria has anything but boosted the form of the Ascot race won by Bracelet

    Has Kevin Ryan backed Tapestry <laugh>

    Going a bit overboard I think, if Volume wins now it will be only because the others all lost their race, the horses dont know what time the race is due to go off and they are normally 10 mins late in Ireland anyway.

    Conversely, Bracelet has boosted the form of the race won by Noble Protector.

    Manning shouldnt have got beat on that with the lead he was given, I know he was trying to test the stamina of a few but they basically gave him that on a plate and he couldnt take it.

    Who was backing Marvellous into 7/2? <laugh>

    The right 3 horses are in the first 3, they were the only 3 that were possible to back against the fav who was too short and had to be opposed.

    Taghrooda is a class filly but she hasnt beaten much in the Oaks and she will need to take a big step up again to be competitive in the King George, I think Telescope is a goodthing.

    Good performance by Bracelet to win the Irish Oaks. Disappointing for Volume again and very disappointing from the favourite Tarfasha. Cannot help but feel this was a moderate race as I do not think the three year old fillies are any great shakes this term (except possibly Taghrooda).

    I wonder if Joseph is told which horse he is going to ride at Ballydoyle or whether he is just lousy at choosing the best from the available options. That was Tapestry&#8217;s best performance of the season but could he have been on the winner? No idea why all the money piled on Marvellous again &#8211; it only won the Irish 1000 Guineas because the English 1000 Guineas runner up got stuck in the mud and there is no evidence to suggest that it will stay much more than a mile anyway.

    Anybody putting £12 on to win £1 Rory McIlroy to win the hours of televised sky or is it too much of a risk that he will choke. Betting on England to win at Lord&#8217;s might be a safer wager at better odds...

    Sounded like she had to fight off the rank outsider after looking to win easily.

    Totally disagree, will wait until the day to decide what to back to win when I know what is running but have already laid Telescope at 2.76.

    The Paco Kid ran awfully again. Olly is really not having a good year with his juveniles.
