Good to see Baily Cloud finally win. He had showed promise in his first 2 starts last season before losing his way but back with a bang today. Thomas Hobson form takes a slight knock as Stuccodor was a disappointing 3rd at 4/6 for Dermot and Ruby.
3:40 Hex - SKYLANDER 15/8 3:50 Font - CHRIS PEA GREEN 11/4 In a double and sponged Bluey/Stick's tip along with SBC's to throw in a Lucky 15.
There's a €39,000 race this evening at Dundalk and it has just 3 runners too. Madness, it should attract more with that prize money on offer.
Just had a quick one at 13/2 on No Kidding at Gowran Park................... (Bloody 'ard, Irish racing!)
The Bookies are making this 5.10 at Ascot a 2 horse race with The Cashel man at 13-8 and Burmeses at 3-1. I think they are way off. I would not dispute the Cashel Man should be favourite but there are numerous horses in here to give him a run for his money in Kashgar, Deauville Dancer,Arty Campbell and Buckland.
That horse was certainly worth a shout at those odds Stick, and I have to take half the blame for that one at least. Tomorrow as they say, is another day and the good thing with this forum is that when one is out of form another will find his stride and it seems some of the Irish lads have been banging a few in of late. I don't tend back in Ireland aside from the classics as I know nothing of the form but there have been some good shots fired of late by the looks of it.
Yes well done Ron, looks a good horse that winner as was in a different league to some very decent enough handicappers.
