Paddy have gone 6/4 for Ol Man River tomorrow. I think he only has to be in Coolmore's top 5 2 year olds for him to deal with Tombeline and i'd be gobsmacked if he's not good enough to win with something in hand. Another gift from God. Tiggy Wiggy money back in play.
BROCKLEBANK 5.40 Epsom 12-1 is a three time handicap winner including once over course and distance. All three of those wins have been off marks higher than todays. He reopposes the favourite Aqua Ardens on 4lbs better terms for two lengths and that puts him in with a huge chance. The ability to act on the track is a big plus and I will be amazed if he doesn't go close. I am keen on WEAPON OF CHOICE who goes for a repeat win in the 3.55 but I just cant recommend a horse that was beaten twenty five lengths last time out!
I went to see a British film at the pictures tonight. It's called Pride and I couldn't recommend it enough. Absolutely loved every second of it. It will be on tomorrow afternoon and it's definitely worth whatever it would cost to go and see it at the pictures.
Never suspected you were a film buff Bob...you sure you didn't just post a review after an evening in the back row with a big hole cut in the bottom of your popcorn bucket...
4.30 Epsom Eton Rambler has the vital C&D form and Oisin Murphy doing the steering, should confirm form with Whinging Willie from a couple of weeks ago, when managing to win despite having Andrew Tinkler on his back
Morning all Musselburgh 305 IN FOCUS I am really suprised to see 11s available on this , the last run can be forgiven(sand) . in the 340 ALPINE STORM 13s available has a good shout at this
That is very unfair, I thought Andrew Tinkler gave it a peach last time out and probably won the race with his riding tactics. I am going against you with Whinging Willie who has a better draw today and shouldn't have to finish widest of all. Throw in that the kid knows the horse well and has a good record on him, and he is my nap today.
Morning all.....few picks for me today; 2-10 Harlequin Striker 2-30 Classic Flyer 3-55 Jalingo 4-50 Pigeon Pie Over at the Curragh I'm going for an e/w treble; 1-55 Ashraf 5-15 Altesse 5-45 Hi Emperor Further afield in Strasbourg I'm having a n e/w flutter on Franciscorta in the 3-25. Good luck all,happy betting.
Not sure if one could describe it as a Festival pointer but we've one of the leading Supreme fancies running in the 5.15 at the Curragh
And a few at Musselburgh im in agreance with55282 on classic flyer , LEADERENE should step up in trip in style and haymarket should go well
Forget the four-legged bets for a few days and look at the twenty-two-legged ones that are up for grabs on Tuesday and Wednesday. Paris Saint-Germain has to be the steal of the week at 27/10 to beat a crumbling Barcelona. I saw Barcelona demolish bottom club Levante in La Liga last Sunday and Messi was anonymous except when he was gifted the last goal by the Levante goalkeeper. The team is built around one man, he is out of sorts and the manager does not have a clue. They scraped past Nicosia 1-0 at home on Matchday 1. I would not put it past Roma to win at the Etihad Stadium after Man Sheikhy made hard work of a poor Hull team on Saturday. And does anybody really want to risk dodgy Liverpool at 20/19 in Basel? I could not even say that the Gooners are a banker against Galatasaray after having 75% of the possession and failing to beat Spurs.
I don't know which Barcelona you've been watching if you think they're crumbling, they haven't got out of second gear yet this year and are top of La Liga without conceding a goal. Messi and Neymar are scoring for fun. The manager is bringing new young talent through and they're producing. I'm a Real fan and was hoping they'd clean up this season but have been worried how strong Barca are looking and thats before Suarez starts playing. PSG have started their campaign really poorly and have had five draws already, i really can't see where your confidence is coming from on this but best of luck with your bet
Anyway back to the horses: Win Lucky 15 and Acca: 3:20 Epsom - Merry Me 3/1 3:40 Musselburgh - Auction 5/2 4:30 Epsom - Eton Rambler 5/2 4:50 Musselburgh - Outlaw Torn 7/2 Ew Lucky 15: 4:05 Curragh - Lilly The Lioness 15/2 4:40 Curragh - Bubbly Bellini 16/1 5:05 Epsom - Zynah 16/1 5:45 Curragh - Smoker 8/1
Surely Kingston Hill should be favourite for the Triumph Hurdle – he ought to get soft ground in March. He is probably starting on the Bois de Boulogne next Sunday but not at Auteuil!
