I wouldn't be in any hurry to back a fillie first time up, giving weight to the whole field at 8/11. I'd rather take a chance on Mixed Message at 14/1 who already has a win under her belt this season, and has only been raised 1 pound in the handicap for her troubles. She was very weak in the market that day, which suggests the yard were expecting her to need the run, and victory came as somewhat of a suprise. So I'm expecting an even better effort from her today
In the 2.40 i'm going against you both with THE ART OF RACING Back down to maiden winning distance following a change of yard and gelding over the winter to my trainer to follow for the season olly stevens training for sheikh fahad and qatar racing. don't usually pay much attention to stable feature but when asked if happy with his mark he responded VERY grinning like a Cheshire cat. and quote of the season "more toe than a Roman sandal" only worry is if he needs the run. willing to take a punt at BP 14/1 EW
And he ainât been. But now may go to Uttoxeter on Saturday. Keep âem peeled in order to establish just what those old rogues are up to with Military Precision. Meanwhile, does anyone know the reason (or the reason the Pipeâs have given) as to why Flying Cross is a non-runner today???
Shergar, my 4 against the field at fancy prices... Brian Gay 300/1 Trevor Immelmen 250/1 Vijay Singh 200/1 Ernie Els 125/1 Have backed them with PP as they pay eway first 6.
Hard to fancy any of those on current form Drever, Though I suppose that's why there such huge odds. Big price winners do pop up in the masters every now and then, including Immelman a few years back, so you never know
Jokerstars? I used to be big into Poker a few years back but spent so much time playing I wasn't spending any time with the mrs. Won a few decent payouts, used to play as xciscosys on stars. Best beat I ever head was a runner runner for a straight flush when the other guy had flopped quad Aces to my two pair.
Afternoon All. A few for me today 2.10 Nottingham - should be won by the short priced fav, but not one for backing at odds like that, However I think Hello Sailor can be one that may go close and at 12's is a good each way option 4.20 Catterick - Mujaadel (3/1) - should win this race and is my Nap for the day 4.40 Nottingham - With Toppy in this one as I think Curl could be massively over priced at 16's and so is a good each way bet. Other ones at bigger prices that may be worth looking at today, Amber Moon (2.00 Ling, 14/1), Khefyn (2.40 Nott, 33/1), Lily In Pink (3.40 Nott, 10/1) GL to all those who play today
ffctom_b, I think HELLO SAILOR is one of the best named horses in training - by Mount Nelson out of Fairy Queen
Does anyone else think hughsie can get at least a treble today at lingfield?? Also really like polar kite 2.50 catterick currently 15/8 GL guys and gals
Lydia Hislop is obviously not a fan of The Princess Bride, as she just mispronounced INIGO MONTOYA. "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die"
Sickest beat I ever suffered was on the final table in a $25k guarantee on Full Tilt back in 2008. I standard raise pre flop with KK, one caller. Flop comes K, 4, 2 rainbow. I check, other guy pushes all in (he had me just about covered). I obviously instantly call. Turn 6, river 6. He turns over quad 6's. Unreal!! He was making a decent play and did what I wanted him too so I can't really complain. Had to buy a new laptop after that and you can probably tell I'm still just a little bitter about it to this day lol!!
Darn it, did my dough at the start by losing a few lengths it seems, finished really well but still got beat a length at the line. Will stick to picking my nose from now on I reckon
Art of racing beat a head. not happy Did anyone see the race? we have IT in at work and they are playing with the internet
