stewards enquiry, Our Conor held on, how that got caught i dont know, Smullen manages to get up on a beaten horse there but he couldnt keep a horse out of trouble in a 5 horse maiden yesterday. Excellent stuff pat
Evening guys - profitable day after 2 pricewise winners and a hughsie 16/1 winner to boot !!! If anyone remembers last saturday eve I think I said to follow Mark Johnston blindly at Goodwood - nice profits after 2 days !!! Frankel - wow what more can you say ???
The Frankel camp have missed a trick not stepping up to 10f sooner - because they won't have time to also step up to 12f. Today was a waste of time. I'm confident he'll win easily over 10f against anything going. With his full brother looking like a St Ledger type there's every chance Frankel might actually get 12f but we'll never know and that, to me, is a great shame. Yes today was impressive but he beat sweet f a and i'd much rather see the beast's limitations tested, would be much more informative.
Or maybe not Didn't see it as I am desk bound with internet nazi guards during the day - any excuses?
Cheers RV - I have just watched the race back, and I'd give Ghurair another chance, ran green again, but finished strongly. May not be Guineas worthy, but worth a bob or two of Reebok Rubles
Just got back from Goodwood. He was, as ever, utterly sublime. He was the most relaxed and switched off I've seen him on the racecourse. Here's hoping it's a good tonic for Sir Henry. I'll put up some photos later.
Alrite ladies, been a busy few days. So apologies for the lack of presence! Am off to goodwood tomorrow & I cant wait. Had a look at tomorrows card toughie but I will be having a nice big wager on Saddlers Rock! But apart from that any other tips will be greatly received ( ihave not been in that bad a form saying that )
I thought GHURAIR was a little too keen and then somewhat green today. Finished better than all except the winner today and will be better next time over a mile. Too early to give up on him..........unlike Maxentius who was a stone cold last!!!!
He was okay Stick. Cut the winner up twice about 2-3 out though. I thought Hannons won cosily and that troubled passage obviously didn't help. Ghurair shouldn't have been in this race IMHO. History has proven they need more experience to win it. I think there's every chance he'll progress to be either the best or second best horse from that race.
Ladbrokes have just cancelled my bet on Kathleen Hersey for the womens butterfly due off in two mins without even calling me. Surely thay cannot do this as I backed her before the semi finals.
Fourth!!!!!!!!!! phew Thats all wrong then, how can they cancel a bet after it has gone a further round. Thats like my horse falling and I ring up and say I only wanted £5 on it not £50....!
