    Celtic will get 25m for ORiley, other clubs in the league need to start holding out for decent money, smart clubs are shopping here because the league is so undervalued. When a decent player turns up in Scotland you are getting them for way less than theyre worth.

    Except in the case of Bassey (17m) and Patterson (6m).

    yeah generally, hence the undervaluing when a good player turns up, which happens regularly

    thats why smart clubs like Atalanta, Leverkusen, and Girona are sniffing around, if the likes of ORiley and Miovski were playing in England, they would cost at least double what they do playing in Scotland, 3-4x in Miovskis case

    What’s crazy is Rangers have some of the worst footballers in existence and will more than likely finish 2nd albeit 25 points behind Celtic.

    all stems from the disgraceful decision to axe club legend GIo after getting to a Europa final and qualifying for the CL

    the biggest yard in England dealing with 10s of millions worth of horse flesh and prizemoney, and I knew more about their horse than them, stride data is revolutionary for determining a horses optimal distance, and the trainers and the market havent clicked on yet, only the shrewdest punters

    Top sprint handicaps await Mostabshir

    Top class sprinters have been few and far between to emerge from the yard of John and Thady Gosden in recent years, but the father-and-son team could have found the key to once well-regarded Mostabshir following his fine run in defeat in the Coral Stewards’ Cup at Goodwood.

    It was just over a year ago that the gelded son of Dark Angel contested the St James’s Palace Stakes behind Paddington at Royal Ascot such was the esteem he was held in by his powerful connections.

    It was hoped a gelding operation would work the oracle, and although showing up well enough on his return to the Royal meeting when finishing fourth in the Buckingham Palace Stakes, it has been by and large a moderate season for the Shadwell Estate Company-owned gelding.

    Trying Mostabshir over six furlongs was a gamble in a bid to revive his fortunes and, although he had a favourable draw to work with in stall 24, it was a move that appeared to pay off as he came home strongly to finish fourth.

    While he will need to show this effort is not a one off there was enough in the performance to suggest sprinting could well be his game.

    Thady Gosden said: “His trip has been a bit of an enigma so far. He has always been a talented gelding. It was first start over six furlongs today and he has run a great race. It is a pretty slick six furlongs here so going back to a stiffer six should help him continue going the right way.

    “He is rated 101 and hopefully he will be the type to compete in those high grade sprinting handicaps for the rest of the year. As he is off 101 you would like to think if he carries on going the right way we could step him back up in grade at some point in the future.”
