    Spot on analysis. Think you expected it to dot up last time though eh. Little value on this combination ever!

    I've started a separate thread, but breaking news is that Jamie Spencer will retire at the end of the season to take up a management role with Qatar Racing.

    Spencer is set for life and has been offered a chance to most likely become an integral figure in horse racing for the next 20/30 years and will probably be on a ton of money to do so. I'd take it.

    Certainly not going to be a huge miss for most punters despite his record of 33 group/grade 1's.

    I did back it lto. Let me down. You only get one chance with Boston Bob.

    It's the same reason I've backed Lysino today. Wouldn't take 3/1 though now.

    Pat Smullen and Dermot Weld have a fair chance of a double at York with Startlet in the 4.20 and Sparkle Factor in the 4.55. Paul Hanagan has a fair chance of a double himself with Parbold in the 3.05 (first start since being gelded, and is entered in a Group 2) plus Taghrooda in the Yorkshire Oaks.

    2:30 York - Sulaalaat

    (Worth an interest at odds of 10/1+. Needs to step-up a notch, but will stay every yard of the trip. Promising filly).

    Mega mega mega disappointed with KK today. Is it a coincidence that his two flops have been in quite big fields? Cannot see any other excuse!

    Think it was a combination of the big field and the rough season hes already had Stick, was a bit greedy them going for that today, he has already done them a good turn and might struggle to come back from that, I couldnt have him at all today, couldnt have Tiggy Wiggy either, the name is enough for me!

    I said on the other thread Stick, he seems to like to be prominent and it just doesn't happen for him in these big fields

    Gutsy run by Tiggy Wiggy, she's fast! <applause>

    (Won't give up on Sulaalaat, she's got a decent race or two in her I reckon).

    <laugh> well done Tiggy backers, too much speed

    That looked a strong race, Cursory Glance is the one going forward I think, done for experience and speed but id be surprised if she didnt turn out the best horse in the race.

    think the front 3 home will prove to be quite special - she just broke track record there aswell
