2000 Guineas

Henrythenav. and Stimulation are my selections for saturdays main event! hopefully the ground dries up a bit/rain eases off in newmarket, the 2 should go well on the quicker surface! Who do think johnny will saddle of the o brien contingency,any thoughts??:rolleyes:

Hawk Wing

Hard to see past New Approach, think Frankie on Ibn Khaladun is his biggest threat

NewApproach

Not long to wait now...

Slightly worried about the drying ground though

E/w on Perfect Stride. Fallon who has been giving him a blast on the gallops is happy with his form, the ground should be no worse than good/yeilding. I doubt he'll win but at 13/1 (when I placed the money) I think he could be value.

NewApproach

To be honest, he is that price based solely on connections.

Like he is only rated 89, won a maiden by a short head before being beaten at 4s on.

Didnt get to run in the craven, and whatsmore he is far from certain to stay on pedigree.

I know Fallon is v keen on him, but jockeys are notoriously bad tipsters.

Would be very surprised if the winner was out of the first three, but they will all have to go some way to beat me!

mike65

Fallon is a great tipster trust me. 4 winners in the last 2 weeks. Not that I'm expecting him to come home as I wouldn't have gone e/w if I did

I'd agree with this one:)

Now how many people agree with my other selection...

Moynahan, 50/1 :eek:

Going now good jockeys are calling it as perfect and should be stiffening all the time which is good for Stride.

The green colours are those of Princess Haya. Last year, Sheikh Mo had a stake in the horse but then bought him outright from Bolger.

Goes to show you shouldn't right off Ballydoyle in the Classics. Nice start for Murtagh. Good finish, thought New Approach was coming back at him, just beeded an extra few yards. Well done Johnny, anyway.

mike65

My nag "blew up" in the first 3 furlongs.

Thank you.

Crumbs

Don't mention it.

NewApproach

I am sick.

Thought he had it a furlong out. Fair play to murtagh tho, super ride.

Need it be said, that is the end of my long term ante post betting!

mike65

Natagora for today, 10 on when at 6/1

Mike.

NewApproach

Well Done Mike, backed it myself today. Super ride from Christophe Lemaire. Looked beat to me a furlong out.

mike65

I missed the race so also missed some bum sqeak tension by the sound of it!

Still they pay on the line, nowhere else

More a case of apalling jockeyship by Richard Hughes imo. Never won a Group 1, Will never a Group 1.
