Definitely now. The grandson went for 2 in that. Battaash and Profitable. So would I have done if I had ignored the forecast ground. Spent ages last night studying the form for soft ground specialists when I shouldn't have been. Strong winds clearly drying out the ground. I am actually disgusted with myself. Not for picking losers (do that often enough) but for the way I went about my selections last night. What a complete ****ing novice I am please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
Different track, different going – made no difference to Battaash. Must have a word with that friend of mine that reckons the Dark Angel’s have to have fast ground... The problem for punters tomorrow may be that if the track is drying out, it might become sticky – just in time for those two huge field sprint handicaps. I think the gaffer sold his missus into slavery and put all the proceeds on Dyna Might looking at the way it shortened in the betting. He will be dining at the local chippy tonight if he still has enough change...
Ron, I dunno, but could your grandson be a bit of an aftertimer. I think he's in with Wells Fargo on a past-posting scam?
No Swanny. He picks them out before they start. It's me doing the after timing. I would have kept quiet if had picked losers. No picks from him after the sprint though as he zoomed out with the missus to get his hair cut as soon as they went passed the post. Have to go to a wedding tomorrow.
OK Ron, then let's see if he can get the Stewards' Cup winner. Let him get cracking early! If he does it then I am a believer, and your grandson should be wrapped in cotton wool, that is for sure. His record is exemplary so far.
We will miss all the racing and all the football tomorrow because we have to go to a wedding. So no picks. He seems to do better deciding just before the off. Not exemplary though Swanny. He also picked one in the second race and that was Forest Ranger which finished 3rd of 6. The fact that I also picked that one may have had something to do with that
