    From Dave Ord's blog on Sporting Life:

    "1247: The Hills twins are walking the course. Richard swerved from the centre of the track to the far rail and Michael followed him."

    <laugh> Expect more memorable rides today <laugh>

  5. The Chosen One

    The Chosen One Guest

    Selections for today:

    2.00 York Ive drawn up a shortlist of four in this race Falsteen 15/1, Swiss Franc 16/1, Racy 16/1 and Shropshire 14/1 all of whom are well weighted, drawn well and get the ground to suit, however, if it is the Keving Ryan trained Falsteen with Jamie SPencer on board that gets the nod on his recent second over C&D in a similar event.

    2.30 York Fort Bastion 10/1 ran a belter of a race on similar ground against teh very talened AOB Filly MAYBE when beaten 2 1/4l on soft ground in CLass 1 listed Company, his next race in Group 2 Company on Good to Firm wasnt great; however, he still managged to finish 5th beaten only 5 3/4l, today he is well drawn and gets decenet ground and double figures for a Richard Hannon horse with Group form is far far to big.

    3.15 Sea Moon 7/2 the very talented SMS colt is lightly raced, has been very progressive and was running on LTO and won over 10f at York, the extra 2f will be to his liking and i reckon he can beat the short priced favourite here and go on to better things.

    Beautiful ride. Sat cold as they went off like scalded cats, shoved the horse through needle eye opening, even putting his horse's shoulder on the other horse, and was strong in the drive to the line.
