I would request that we have no silliness re the name of Mr Henderson’s runner in the 2 mile maiden hurdle at Fakenham tomorrow (3.05). Mods, it might be an idea to keep a close eye on those in the ‘cheap seats’.
One I like the look of at a monster price today is in the 4:00 Warwick Bally Sands @ 50/1 few quid ew on it
Radwanska Federer double would be a great result to break up the two dominant tennis forces but the odds are long! Would love Murray to win it for Grand Slam #3 but he has a tough match with Raonic first.
Federer got any magic left these days or will the Serbian machine have too many legs for him down the straight as usual?
So the winner of Djokovic / Federer gets a nice 2 day rest before the final. The winner of Murray / Raonic gets a 1 day rest. Whats that all about????
Thought all grand slam semi finals were played on the same day for a reason. Sad to see Federer being destroyed today though.
Nothing for me today but there are a few ‘shorties’ I’ll be looking out for. Mendip Express (4.00 Warwick) makes his hunting bow after being purchased for 75,000 guineas last year. Says much about the state of racings finances that he’s competing for a 1st prize of just £1,248 today! At the same meet Mr Henderson’s Fixe Le Kap (1.50) has been mentioned in the same breath as the ‘Triumph’ so really ought to oblige if any such ambitions are to be fulfilled. At Fakers Mr Henderson, the forum’s favourite trainer, runs the above mentioned Barman (3.05) who there is some nice money for this morn. A relatively cheap buy at €16,000 lets see if Mr Henderson can work his magic with another one. Whilst in the concluding contest (or ‘lucky last’ if you prefer) it will be intriguing to see if Hassadin, from the county, can secure back to back victories. All are poor prices though for a simple working man such as myself so I’ll just be keeping a watching, I say watching, brief.
One for me at thurles, Nearly Nama'd. He beat minella foru in November who franked that form over Christmas. He then won a decent grade A handicap at Fairyhouse. I don't take the first two in the market lightly but he looks a decent bet.
