doubt shell be winning the Oaks on that performance but nice price today at least, thought she was going to win easily 2 out
Thought she lost it on first running and couldn't spilt it on the photo either! Well done all the same DK
Turned into a messy finish anyway they split into more or less 3 groups, well the 2nd raced far side but other than that they were spread well out. She may have gotten a bit lonely there in front and centre.
Maybe, he wasnt hard on her, but to me a proper Oaks filly would have drew away from them there hands and heels, physically she hasnt really done much since last season. Not great for my main fancy in the race Crimson Rock who beat her first time out but she is a huge filly and hopefully she will have improved a lot. Half sister to Peeping Fawn and Thewayyouare. Horseplay is the other one I like for it.
More regular readers set to queue up at the Chippenham Soup Kitchen. Could all those still backing/tipping winners please give generously for these poor disadvantaged folk.
I dont think it was anything special form wise, Elas Ruby had run three times in decent maidens and id hope that she wouldnt get near the 2 she split this year.
Shutter Speed is high up on my list as well but I didnt fancy her as an oaks filly and shes now second fav, that was a nice maiden she won. God Given obviously interesting being a half sister to Postponed but the other one I took from the race was the Haggas filly Coconut Creme. Shes a half sister to Sultanina and I thought it was a really nice debut on ground that was probably softer than she wants. Shes entered at Beverley on Monday.
Leon Blanche thinks Labaik will start today ??? Is he a psychic or what...it's only a guessing game if he leaps off or not.
So who selected Wicklow Brave with the trainers son on board to win that then?. I love that horse, reluctant to race then pulls his way well off the front and then wins handsomely enough. What a fine little racehorse he is. Another mad fooker in Willie's barn though!
It took a fair while for some of those jockeys to cop that vvm wasgoing nowhere. Can't fault the winner though. Have to fell sorry for Tent.
Can't believe Wicklow brave won today, been a right dodge pot for me for the last couple of seasons. Every time I leave it alone it wins. My luck been sh#te lately and left punchestown alone all my fancies for the festival have won this week. Well done with all the winners. Right, where's this soup kitchen?
I thought Willie had only stuck him in the line up to help Elliott's nutcase to decide not to bother.
