    Cheeky E/W on the bottom one Quasi Conageree in the first at Goodwood - C&D winner who just failed to get up last time out at Newmarket after a poor start. Same mark today and 33/1 <ok>

    Cats that's a tremendous shout on Fallen For You - some horse to win from that tardy start.

    Nice treble up with Midday and Natural High, tainted by further horrible scenes at Goodwood though. Condolences to connections and a quick recovery for Ryan Moore

    Nap up next at Galway Robin Angevin - should have won on debut really, not Katie's finest hour. Hopefully young Patrick will do a good job today <ok>

    Just back from Footy and watched replays

    not a bad day when NAP wins and NB is 2nd backed at 50/1 :). So sad to see Captain John Nixon break down though. I had Verdant in that race any news on Verdant and Activate ??

    Must be very scary to just hit a wall of horse like that - no chance for evasive action. Could have actually been a lot worse

    OddDog: Took a look myself at video replay. Classic case of over-confidence? Very sad day yet again with another horse lost and a top jockey injured.
    R.I.P. Captain John Nixon.

    Filon I think it's a horse that needs to be delivered right on the line - Paul Carberry is a master at that. 2 runs now and both times he looked all over the winner only to find absolutely nothing in front. Won't be backing it again unless Ruby or Townend on board.
