Good Luck

 

yep , think it’s the class issue , the flat is dominated by the well to do , who prefer a more rarified atmosphere, national hunt has all kinds .......

 

Sorry but I don’t care for todays racing. Much more pressing issues.

 

ACCIDENTAL AGENT 25/1 Ascot 2:40
Once more into the breach. Or should I say over the cliff.
Decent run on seasonal debut, class sprinter, big price.

 

How many times does Charles Byrnes have to be reprimanded by thr officials before they hand out a Mammoth ban to him I wonder? Continuously having horses banned and fined for not running horses on merit/banned substances etc and the same old slap across the knuckles with the ruler. Compare that to the ban facing Ronan McNally who got walloped with 12 years I think it was for operating along the same lines with his very small string of horses.

No uniformity in the disciplinary decisions at all.

 

Cough, cough, Jim Best, cough, cough.

 

Shantou Express in the opener at Haydock. Ran well in this last year finishing 5th. Good ground definitely a plus and his mark has slipped a few pounds since last year plus he gets a further 7lb off with the claimer on board. EW 55/1 6 places. The trainer has a decent chance at Warwick too with I Spy a Diva in the 7.25. Very good run at Cheltenham lto. 7/1 currently. Good luck all.

 

I'm not going to Oddy, that was difficult to take

 

Good luck Nass. I take it you will be there

 

of course!

 

FRESH - Loves the course. Conditions not a problem.

Haway The Lads.

 

Haydock
15,15 Get Back Get Back 25/1 e/w bet365 and Lads five places, 20/1 sky six places

Hexham
15,25 Vent D'automne 7/2 WH

 

Haydock
13,35 Willaston 18/1 e/w WH, PP and betfair five places, 14/1 sky six places

 

Me neither, Oddy, fed-up to the teeth with football at the moment. QPR's management should be put on the scrap heap. Useless clowns.

 

Star Zinc rarely runs a bad race, and has a decent chance in the Pertemps Handicap at Haydock (16:25), over a distance just short of 7f. The Kodiac gelding should give a good account. Tom Marquand rides for the Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerrero yard

6/1 (Wm.Hill/BetVictor) about the best price at time of writing.

Have a successful day, folks!

 

Won.
