A little e/w Lucky 15 at Cartmel: 2.25 Never Up - very promising hurdles debut when running the prolific Gingili all the way to the line and can go one better here 3.00 Lexington Bay - won by half the Southwell straight last Sunday, has changed ownership and yards and Kirby sends him back over hurdles for the first time since Feb 2013 4.10 Presenting Junior - the jockey's 3lbs claim means he is just 4lbs higher than last time out when he won a listed handicap chase at Ayr from some very decent yardsticks. 4.40 Hinton Indiana (nicked from Chan for the reason he mentions) Best of luck everyone
I don't either, STH. I have no idea how much Bundesliga football forum members watch, but, you know, quite honestly he is a bit of a nut case at times. Very good trainer, totally devoted to Dortmund and it surprises me he is leaving them (I think he will return one day). Can just imagine him jumping up and down at Liverpool, or elsewhere. He won't change, and I just hope his obviously sturdy heart can stand it before he earns his retirement. I have always thought that Jupp Heynckes got out just in time; I was so happy for him that it was on a triumphant note too. Old Jupp can still teach Pep a thing or two; the Bayern club, especially the players who knew him, miss the old boy very much, I can tell you.
Lucia Russell has won 4 of her last 5 races entered. Based on that I'm having 3 singles on her following entries at Cartmel today. 3.00 PULPITARIAN 6-1 3.35 VENGEUR DE GUYE 6-1 5.45 STYLISH CHAP 8-1
A few to avoid today because I'm backing them are: 1.30 Car ROLL ON RORY 2.55 Win REMBRANDT VAN RIJN 3.10 Car SHARQEYIH 3.55 Red LIBRAN 1.15 Win DIVINE LAW e/w
Typical bank holiday racing today so nothing worth losing money on... It does not really matter whether they keep Brendan Rodgers at Anfield because they simply are not good enough to win the Premier League. Gerard has been in decline for a couple of seasons and Henderson is not a replacement. The smart move would be for Arsenal to push Wenger upstairs and make him Director of Football (or some other meaningless title) and get Jürgen Klopp in to turn them into a title contender. For a long time now the Gooners have just been a ‘finish in the top four’ Champions’ League also ran.
If you watch that replay of the Leicester 3.50 you can see why Ryan Moore is the jockey everyone wants to put up. Two horses closed his gap yet he pushes through, many especially Jamie would have snatched up and lost the race.
Thought the run of Rio Ronaldo is hard to decipher. Squeezed up at the start and a bit keen. Travelled through the race powerfully and probably the last off the bridle but he found very little when asked. Puzzled by it but there's no doubt in my mind he's better than his current mark.
Watched it back a couple of times now and struggling to make head nor tail of the run. Hopefully the trainer will update his blog with some info but I doubt he will.
Keen early but travelled with promise.I reckon they have a big improver on their hands. That'll end up a Group sprinter when the penny drops.
Couldn't agree more. They showed there on ATR that he actually stumbled badly at the start having met interference. Travelled like the best horse in the race but I think being keen, the stumble and making up a good bit of ground meant there was nothing left in the tank when asked.
Definitely- and remember in sprinting they don't have the time or the energy to recover like they do in middle distance racing. Sprinters can disappoint but it doesn't always mean they aren't progressive. Any word on what targets this one might have its eye on? I suspect with that sort of ability, a good pace to aim at would be nice so a big handicap pot at some point with a view to then stepping up into higher level listed/Group3?
Even I'm getting bored of it now to be fair, I'm actually starting to sigh and roll my eyes every time I see I have another winner, it's becoming a burden
Evening all.Very sad to hear of the passing of RTE broadcaster Bill O Herlihy.Bill was a brilliant anchor man and was a joy to listen to over years. Been giving Shadagann in the first at Ballinrobe but its abit to short for me so watching brief only. One I have backed is Queen Alphabet in 7.30 at 3s.Contested a much tougher race at Aintree and finished 5th but this mares race looks alot easier and she can take this.In the 7.00 I think Manibus has sound ew claims at 9s
