    OK Dexter...here's a question for you....since 1962 what did only Dr Devious do which broke a sequence ?

    Not too hard for you I'm sure !

    Incorrect Dexter...though on the right lines....anyone else ? I will give you until 2.30 when I return from lunch as I go at 1.30

    Meanwhile,any sign of my replies to SBC,RV and Oddy being posted yet Monsieur Moderator ?

    Surely,my comments were not contentious ?

    Indeed GGW he may well have been the only horse to ever do that but not the answer to the question posed.

    Thanks redcgull..though I see you are siding with Nicholls against my Hobbs pick in the last....maybe a Dutching win bet is in order then if the prices are right ?

    Yes Dexter...he was annihilated by St Jovite but still not the answer......OK...I will put you out of your misery now but it was a stat which I advised Big Mac of before it happened this season.....

    Dr Devious broke the sequence of Coolmore trained Derby winners....

    1962 LARKSPUR
    1972 ROBERTO
    1982 GOLDEN FLEECE
    2002 HIGH CHAPPARAL
    2012 CAMELOT

    So get on Coolmores runner in 2022....you heard it here first !

    Bog Warrior and Cristal Bonus facing off in a fascinating second season 'chaser event at DR on Saturday.

    Both showed great potential last year before disappointing.They have almost identical OR's and are 2/1 joint favs.

    Good memory, Gingerninja...I did that a couple of times only to be let down in the last race and have not played the Scoop 6 for the past 2 years almost..always remember the first time my syndicate did it and our last pick was a close-up 4th on the all weather in a race ironically won by John Terry who was my second choice in the race.....hey ho !!

    Sorry AS. I didn't realise they were in moderation. Don't know why they were but they aren't now, There is an automatic moderating if a link is posted by newcomers. It must have spotted a key word but **** knows what it is/they are.

    I agree with ya there Oddy alway's liked the look of Flemenstar and look forward to seeing him in action to see if he can progress further again this season, alway's thought of him as a GC horse and i hope he can get there and prove me right, very much one to watch over the upcoming and future season.
