3great winners great tipping folks thank you

 

Superb Stick, superb

 

Ran well without really looking like winning it. Was well backed, went off at 6/1. Has a race in it, just a matter of catching it right. Well done fellas with the winners

 

Shout.

 

Top shout Stick..

 

Some top tips today gents. Well done. And Carter McKay duly obliged against his 80 rated oppo. Qatar Racing at a loss with how to spend their £1800 winnings.

 

Is that the Jersey Derby then?

 

Cheers Stick, great shout....again.

 

Legendary stuff...thanks Stick

 

interestingly the market was slightly wrong , big gamble on mr ludlow s horse which yours beat relatively easily , excellent pick stick !

 

I dont mind admitting that the market had me worried. The support for the Bailey horse smacked of real confidence. I buoyed my hopes with the notion that the Arbuthnot yard are not known for their huge punts.
There have been some big touches in the last week. I saw one Christian Williams animal backed from 50/1 in to 7/1 and it was never off the bridle.

 

How many times do I have to tell you?!? Couldn’t train Ivy (lovely girl incidentally) to grow up a wall.

Well done though, old scout. Although it would appear that several on here want to take you on that trip to Paris!

 

Now, now, old scout, that’s not the outlook to have. Positive attitude and all that as our therapist often tell us. What, what?!?

The Derby is actually ridiculously early this term (1 June) so if he does go to Haydock on Saturday there would only be a 5 week gap between that and Epsom. In all probability that would probably rule out a recognised trial as will connections want to give the old boy 3 races in just 5 weeks???

I’m not going to deploy that awful forum cliché, ‘I’ve ben told…’ because I haven’t but you would have to envisage, even with carrying a penalty at the weekend, Great Bear would have to trot up for The Derby to be seriously on the agenda in 38 days’ time. Should he though…then you would have to consider him a contender. But at any rate I doubt if there will be a better bred horse than Great Bear an Epsom possible right now.

The major positive is that connections seemingly have no stamina fears. There certainly has been no ‘stamina conditioning’ built into his career – as he would, should he go, step right up to 12 furlongs at the weekend.

 

Wow. Great tipping yesterday

 

I see what you mean Barney. There will be no stamina fears there . Even has Ribot on both sides of the pedigree

 

Scotch? What do the Welsh do with scotch apart from drink it. Don't see the link to flag waving

 

I thought someone might bite. I was only having a laugh. I used to work with a sweaty from Falkirk who was a blue nose with a fixation with Germany who was always irritated with my scotch bit. He used to get even more irritated when I told him the Irish invented whiskey.

 

I thought about a 'bite', but I will do so with 'whiskey'. Please, it's 'whisky', at least that's what we sold in my dad's pub (if we had any during those long-ago dark days). Can't have bloody Yankee spellings on this 'esteemed' section of the forum! They've done enough already, e.g. 'honor', 'behavior', for pity's sake.

Do the Irish spell it 'whiskey'.

Guess they do!

 

Great Bear does go to Haydock on Saturday (1.30). Is penalised for his Wolverhampton win so has to concede weight all round. The weekend heat should tell us a lot more about the horse…

 

From what I can remember, Haydock is a stiff flat galloping course so should suit him
