Is it a syndicate, as the owner is listed as a female and that the female owns both of the trainers runners tonight?
Just heard on RPGTV that it is a non runner as not at the track. Will try and find out why when I see my colleague in the early hours.
Not sure about those ones Chelsea as I didn't ask, but I will find out. My colleagues dog runs on Sunday night which is a syndicate. UNKNOWN ASASSIN is not running now.
Cheers Mick, and damn that's a shame, interesting that the other one in the 9 56 is still listed as a runner though (12/1), hopefully that is a positive indicator! Unless they just haven't updated that being a non runner !
Not sure if it is running but he didn't mention anything about that one though. You would have thought they would get there in good time. Shame really.
Very interesting though if the 9 56 one does run though, as that would be all that way just to run that one
Well done to all those who had Mecca’s Angel. Looks like she did not need the Biblical deluge that was forecast but that did not really show up. Commiserations to those who did Limato – still only one horse has won the Nunthorpe having never won over five furlongs before (Mozart, the 2001 July Cup winner). Those mugs that piled on after Nemoralia had run a fast time in the previous race get no sympathy – the time was fast because of the two unintentional pacemakers, the ground was still only good. Profitable proved anything but for me and I never really even got a run for my money. Another band of rain due across the country overnight so the dreaded ‘soft’ word may be in the going at York, Sandown and Chester tomorrow – but I bet it is still ‘Firm’ at Bath!
9:20 Wolverhampton - Vale Of Rock 66/1 ew I know it's unlikely that I'll find two half decent 66/1 shots in one day but this horse is with a good yard and might just outrun it's odds and sneak into the places
Just reading Prickly who routed a field at Killarney earlier has had 4 wind ops so far, incredible that is. Eddie O'Grady was commenting how good he could/would have been barring all those. I'd have to agree. A lovely animal and shame he has required so much treatment. Hopefully he has a clear path now into a lush retirement thereafter
Extract from Timeform sectionals. "Friday’s big-race winner, Mecca’s Angel, is about as Yorkshire as it is possible to be without actually being Yorkshire. She is trained just a few miles across the border in County Durham and has now won four races in her adopted county, including the last two runnings of the Group 1 Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes on the Knavesmire. She is most certainly Northern, anyway, and that will do. More to the point, she is probably just about the best 5f turf horse anywhere in the world just now. If you don’t believe that, then look at the evidence of the clock, which shows that Mecca’s Angel was just 0.08s (about half a length) off breaking the brilliant Dayjur’s track record set in this race way back in 1990."
Don't get why you send a dog on a 3 hour drive to win a £200 race, and then it loses and comes 5th lol don't get it, was the only one he sent all the way there. Its not even like there was money to be made laying it because it was 16/1
Seen my colleague earlier and he said they didn't arrive in time for the first race, and that the dog that ran was to keep the other one company. Really does begger belief as you rightly say about going all that way for a couple hundred pound at best or 40 like tonight. At least get there on fecking time. As an owner I would be pretty peed off to say the least.
