A poor ride didn't help Ron. ... allowed the horse to be shuffled back from a handy position, then couldn't find gaps
 
There'd be worse 20-1 ew shots than Black Cherry in the next, fav for the win though

Play That Funky Music ...........

I agree but she wan't good enough. That's twice that jockey has ridden a bad race for me. I'm going off him <laugh>
 
Nice ride by Rob Havlin there. Hadn't heard of him before he rode Squire and I felt he was the best jockey for him. I think he may just be a very decent jockey
 
YES! Blue Point wins easily. My first bet in the VBS was £200 win on this horse and he got beaten. Just £100 this time but 2/1 was a great price
 
Surely this ime

Oasis Fantasy's race to lose? 8-1 seems fair to me

Good news about Dream of Dreams :)

I have a pretty good angle on how smart I think Nakeeta is for Iain Jardine and the fact that Nakeeta swerves this with SHREWD running might be very telling, having won decisively over course and distance previously. Looks unexposed and a very, very handy claimer on board.

At bigger prices, I have snaffled 48s on the exchanges for SEISMOS, who showed ability is in tact in the Northumberland plate, and crucially gets his conditions up at York today from a career low mark. A very smart stayer and I just thought he might look a silly, silly price with the 3lb claim too.
 
My e/w fancies for the C4 races today:

September Stars 2.30 San. Looks progressive.

Theos Lolly 2.50 York. I think this one will like the step up in trip.

Total Star. 3.05 San. Another looking progressive.

Dream of Dreams. 3.25 York. Don't underestimate!

What About Carlo. 3.40 San. Handy mark, C&D winner and about time it won again!

Seismos. (NAP). 4.00 York. This one won the Geoffrey Freer at Newbury 2 years ago off a mark of 111 and runs today off 103 with Marc Monaghan taking another 3lb off. Wont mind a bit of cut in the ground, and wouldn't surprise me if this one hasn't been laid out for this!

Good luck chaps!


Not a sniff...I give up.
