Cathy Gannon was fined £290 by the stewards at Newbury for tweeting a picture complaining about the standard of food yesterday - f**kng ridiculous! http://www.racingpost.com/news/hors...-tweet/1877618/#newsArchiveTabs=last7DaysNews
Have always liked Night Of Thunder and he can have a good 4 year old campaign. My only worry is that Hannons big guns have taken a run to straighten out and have improved on second start. One has continually caught my eye left of field and given the big field and likely decent pace, I cannot help but think the penny might drop back down at 1m for the very quirky but equally talented AROD 25/1 (E/W). His Dante run last year shows a glimpse of what he could begin to achieve if maturing a little. He ia race-fit after a solid reappearance where he again pulled a little too hard, but that should have knocked the edge off him and got him about spot on for this sort of test today. Of all Night Of Thunders opposition, I felt he is the one who could spring a surprise and personally I thought 25/1 looked like an insult.
Just had my first look at yesterday's Maiden point to point final at Aintree. The winner Chap was most impressive. I'd be interested to know if you guys think the animal might have a future? I've tried to post a replay, but I'm not allowed.
Only the one for me today and will all the good racing at Newmarket and Newbury I'm probably mad but have a look at the gentle ride on Alwaysrecommend last time out. First run in a handicap and stayed on under a tender ride to be 6th. I got on last night at 7/1 and since then the money has come and he is now 7/2 FAV but part of that is due to the withdrawal of the overnight favourite. Im very confident on this one lads. 150 BANGOR- Alwaysrecommended 7/2
Barney is one of my favourite posters. Is Analifet the point and shoot job I think she is today? 7/4 looks really tasty.
Only betting on the Lockinge today, it's a group 1 so I always go with group 1 winning form and there are 2 in this so am backing both 3pts win Night of Thunder 10/3 1pt win Integral 7/1
Afternoon all Two stand out for me today and they both run a month ago placing 1st and 2nd the 1st that day was salt island who has spencer onboard again today and looks value at11/2 ( Newbury 235). The 2nd that day finnished in good eye catching style properus around 3s which looks very fair (Newmarket 325). Good luck all
15:10 Newbury - Plymouth Sound e/w (Ideally bred for the job and should appreciate the step up to a mile-and-a-quarter. Ran well LTO (first run of the season) after having to race wide early on. 12/1 currently available in five or six places).
Arod ew in the Lockinge @ 20s. Creditable efforts in group 1s previously albeit over further. Shouldn't be stopping at the end and 4 places on offer. Ravens Tower seems to have no chance judging by the market in the beginners chase at Bangor (2.20) but I'll risk an ew poke at 20s.
All of these have a fairly good chance of winning: 8.45 Doncaster, Wiener Valkyrie - Ridden by Graham Lee, been backed from 5/1 to 7/2. 3.10 Newbury, Time Test - Has Group 2 King Edward VII entry at Royal Ascot, but this is a very open race. 4.20 Newbury, Pamona - Entered in Ribblesdale, Oaks and Coronation Stakes. Still looked green when winning it's second start at Newmarket. 4.15 Thirsk, Blhadawa - Also ridden by Graham Lee, decisive winner of it's last two races at Lingfield and has two Group 1 entries. 7.30 Uttoxeter, Mighty Minnie - Full sister to Mighty Man, won by just over a length at Bangor. But Flemensbay is unbeaten when wearing cheekpieces including by 12 lengths last time out over course and distance. So I'm the least confident of Mighty Minnie winning.
