    Is it just me or did Frankie not really ride to the line there?

    No, just seen the replay and he couldn't have done more - in front before and after the line but just done on the bob

    I think it is just you!

    When they hit the line he had his hands nearly over her head shoving up her neck. Hopefully Frankie (and all other jockeys) just learned why you should not celebrate winning before the result is called.

    Congratulations to connections of Marsha. I thought about putting her in the competition today as a better-priced alternative to Battaash but stuck with my original thought.

    There was no way Frankie could have known for sure he had won. Bit presumptuous!

    The way it got hammered in the betting, Mr Quinn is probably handing over the house keys and the pair of them will be down the YMCA tonight... <laugh>

    They might as well withdraw Mojito now – I put it in the tipping competition, so it is doubly jinxed. <laugh>

    Was sorely tempted but showed great restraint and kept my powder dry. Always wary of piling into a horse over the minimum distance

    Anyone on a Dartmouth/Lady Aurelia double today must be close to quitting the game. Defeats that neither deserved, both in front just before and just after the line, demoralising

    Smokey lane has some woeful form going into the 500 at Ffos but at double figures and down in class i am willing to take a chance. Conditions should suit too
