Today see's the start of the Giro d'Italia 2014, and although you may or not like cycling as a sport I would ask you to see where it starts today... In sunny, or most probably wet, BELFAST...!!!

The Tour De France started in Dublin in 1998 Red. I remember it well because I passed the entire Festina cavalcade on the M54 on their way to the ferry at Holyhead. I thought at the time that it was a hell of a lot of support for a few cyclists. But at that time we weren't aware that they were carrying enough performance enhancing drugs to make a certain Arab dictator blush <laugh>
 
At Ascot I think King's Chocala should take all the beating in the 6.05. Came 3rd lto to the subsequent Chester Cup 2nd and 4th and conditions more juicy tonight which should help. Had a bit of 7/4 earlier but now 5/4.
 
Need Future Security to complete my treble of BP and BS - more hopeful than confident!
 
Morning all

we are on the 2 yr old trail again with just 3 being run today:

535 Ascot- Dangerous Moonlight
545 Nott- Polar Vortex
555 Ripon- Cabbies Lou (although any support for the Fahey horse would sway my bet)

Good luck

Don't come much better than that ;)
 
Extrasolar really is big at 20s and should improve vastly from last run extra really can go and looks weighted to do so

Sorry boily but Fahey's horse started at 5/1 but touched 11/2. Therefore there was a tiny bit of support at some stage.















<laugh><laugh><laugh> Only joking. Excellent tipping <applause>
 
Ha to be fair that was the race where I was least confident especially after the drift!!!! The 3rd will win races on soft that's for sure
 
I have counted three selections for the 7:15 so one more wont hurt. HILLBILLY BOY has improved all winter and Atzeni back on tonight. He even his group when narrowly beaten at Ripon and only up a pound for that. He will go close and for the forecast I may chuck in Red Refraction.

Good luck all.
