Evening, Nass. There's a big tip flying about for the Carroll horse (Spirit of Tomintoul, 4.25), who might repay close paddock inspection. Hasn't run since May, and you'd think that this trip is his absolute minimum these days. The only early tissue I can find is showing 11/2, but if he's out for a touch I'd guess that he won't be anything like that. If he looks fit to you, I think he's probably up to beating these on good to soft. Have a good day.
Arabian queen has a tough assignment at longchamp tomorrow but at the price I'll be taking on the dual.Arc winner. The o'brien horse could cause an upset. Goldream goes for the sprint, could be a good day for the Brits
GREEN LIGHT tomorrow boys???? We have been waiting for him to get a proper jockey on board......well instead we got Jamie Spencer! We all know this is a winner in waiting!
A couple I like Nass; SAMPERA 3:50 for a yard that do well when they come here and in a race tailormade for 3yo's with WFA allowance. Top apprentice on and a winner at the trip, looks to have a really good chance. PROMINNA 5:30 who I think is still learning and the penny finally dropped last time. Can build on that and cope with a 4lb rise in the ratings!
4.50 Curragh- BROWN PANTHER - 6/1 Classiest horse in the field first run back nice and fresh won't mind the ground hard to beat tonorrow
3.05 Curragh - Maarek-5/1 Big risk on him tomorrow needs the ground like a bog!! But if it rains he wins on good form and interesting he's chosen here over longchamp IMO this is abit more of heart over head as i am huge fan of the horse but should give a good run as long as he doesn't get going to late
MONDALISTE runs over in woodbine tomorrow and will win! Backed him when he won at York beating a good field will take a lot beating
In the opener on Arc Trials Day, the Prix Du Petit Couvert, it is hard to fancy Goldream with a Group 1 penalty and much of the rest of the field are the usual local suspects like Catcall and blinkered first time Rangali. Last year’s victor Mirza comes here on the back of an unplaced effort, so could the three year old Profitable cause an upset here? In the first of the Arc Trials, the Prix Niel, Ol’ Man River would need to show markedly improved form to feature after a long layoff, as would Listed winner Ming Dynasty. This does seem to rest between the two market leaders and with Countermeasure in as a pacemaker, New Bay must enhance his Arc prospects at the expense of Erupt. French heroine Treve returns from a rest since June in the Prix Vermeille and faces a field dominated by three year olds (one of which is her pacemaker). Sea Calisi was a close third in the Yorkshire Oaks and might prove to be a good yardstick to measure the form rather than Arabian Queen, who ventures into unknown territory after her tactical victory at York (official rating raised 7lb to 116 for that). Diamondsandrubies has to put her poor showing last time behind her, so perhaps the best prospect for an upset is the Aga Khan’s Candarliya, who has run up a sequence in lesser contests but could find the Arc favourite race rusty and capitalise. Two older fillies defected from the Vermeille to avoid Treve and take on Postponed in the Prix Foy. Dolniya is unquestionably the better of the two as Biano Hope is really a Group 2 filly in a Group 2 race containing two Group 1 performers. The presence of a pacemaker for Luca Cumani’s King George winner Postponed augurs well for him in a race where there are no Group 1 penalties making it read like a match. The mile Prix Du Moulin looks like a fascinating encounter with three of the better three year olds taking on three good older horses. Esoterique has to be respected after accounting for Territories, Wild Chief and Karakontie in the Prix Jacques Le Marois; and it would be reasonable to expect Territories to account for Dutch Connection again after the Prix Jean Prat. Ervedya was turned over by Amazing Maria last time but has an excellent chance here to return to winning ways, although AROD’s Sussex Stakes second to Solow is the best form available and Peter Chapple-Hyam’s colt can win if the ground does not come up too soft. Is it allowed to tip against Aidan O’Brien’s runners in the National Stakes (4:15)? If so, I nominate Jim Bolger’s Herald The Dawn, who has done nothing wrong to date. I liked Richard Fahey’s Birchwood at Newmarket but he has run poorly twice on easy ground so it may not be his day at The Curragh.
Morning all, I'm in France at the moment and looking to watch the racing. Does anyone know what channel it's on, and how do you put a bet on in the pmu shops. Cheers.
Morning all. Much controversy yesterday. Haven't had a great deal of time to look at the St Leger but for what it's worth, I feel Simple Verse won the race on merit and to my eye there was little interference - just the usual scrimmaging in my opinion. Flat racing just doesn't blow up my skirt so I can't claim to be savvy regarding the minutia of the rule book - I just feel common sense should have prevailed yesterday. Anyhow, I've thrown a few darts this morning to make up a trixie... 2:50 List - MODEM 2/1 3:15 FLas- BUKLE 7/2 3:55 List - KRIS KINDLE 13/2 Good luck all!!
Glad I re read yesterdays thread. Felt a bit insulted that us "Jocks" were gettin the blame for horses gettin beat
Into 5/1 already Stick- think a fair few fancy him! Anyone opposing Treve today? Some poor Arc trials I felt, nice card in Ireland.
Having arrived at Longchamp, I can report that the weather forecast was wrong. It is not showers but rain; and there are pools of water everywhere - expect the going to be soft. Looks like that scuppers my bet on Arod.
Bath Rectifier ffos eager beaver spirit of tomitol ew brandon castle diminutive good luck all who play
Update on the state of the ground at Longchamp. I went to the winning post for the first and the track did not feel soft underfoot; however after they had gone past they had kicked up big divots, showing that it has become loose on top. Nice win for the visitors in the sprint.
If you see a bedraggled Luca Cumani walking around puffing away at a cancer stick, should that inspire confidence in Postponed?
