You dipped your toe antepost yet Stick? Wasn't a fan of it as I've been burned in the past but really taken a swing at it this year.
That's where I'm normally knocking about so we've probably already had a swordfight in the gents without knowing
My memory is shocking these days, I know I backed a couple, only a couple mind after last year but I am buggered if I can remember now what they were. I think FAYONAGH for the Mares was one.
I thought it was Wednesday mate. A really nice prize there but I reckon a lot of trainers will be eyeing that up. Failing that Sandown on Thursday evening where I think he would have an almighty chance. 1 mile up the Sandown finish is right up his street. I actually think he ran his best race at Sandown when Rembrandt Van Rijn beat him.
He is actually entered in both! Only looked at the Thursday and Friday cards as in going both days! The Wednesday is the big race Fridays look as a whole load easier however i see Jimmy Quinn has already been jocked up on him for Wednesday
I think Michael is leaning toward the Wednesday race, we havent spoken about jockeys and I had assumed Adam would ride. Its fantastic prize money for a low grade handicap on Wednesday and a big **** off trophy as well LOL Wherever he runs this week, I shall be there!
That Brighton race has been targeted by a Wiltshire barn for the past 2 terms (Michael Blake’s Pick A Little) for the exact same reason that you mention – awesome prize money for a relatively low class contest. He’s gone very close both years as well – including in ’16 at a huge price. Pick A Little loves the course because as well as those efforts is also a 4 time winner at the venue. Has fallen down the ratings since his win at the course last September (71 to 62) and he will be at the meeting again this term – not in Squire’s heat though but on Thursday in a lowly class 6 event.
Adam down to ride in Racing Post dec's and a good draw in 4 with Good to Firm going taboot Best of Luck
