    Takes place Friday & Saturday.

    I'll be ignoring all races on Friday with all my bets running on Saturday's card.

    breeders' cup classic (pro-ride track) (23:45)

    Gio Ponti 16/1 (ladbrokes)
    4-time back-to-back grade 1 winner (including arlington million), returns to ideal trip after losing on latest start, travels exceptionally well and could blow these away
    Twice Over 16/1 (stan james)
    beat ravens pass a shd, recent group 1 winner, massive chance

    breeders' cup dirt mile (pro-ride) (22:12)

    Mastercraftsman 5/2 (ladbrokes)
    running against a bunch of monkeys - ever hear of a racing certainty, but never witnessed one? here's your chance

    breeders' cup sprint (pro-ride) (20:10)

    Fatal Bullet 7/1 (ladbrokes)
    fastest horse in the race, best sprinters in the world aint showed up, can't lose

    Will post up stakes come Saturday.

    All the best to everyone else having a bet at the two-day meeting.

    Was thinking of just the one bet tomorrow on Lillie Langtry in the Juvenile Fillies Turf race, not sure what other people think of her chances?

    I reckon not one European horse will win a juvenile event. The US are very strong in that sphere this year.

    ATR have a micro-site for the event lead by Barry Faulkener

    I have money on him :)

    The ground suits him, he is fresh and fit. Their wont be any messing going on here like trainers pulling him back to place for better future odds.
    They want to win this one big time. Last week the head of a major bookies placed a very large some on him and he does not miss often.

    I don't have a bet personally, none at all tonight for that matter.

    Good luck with it - I honestly hope it wins for you.

    Lay Mastercraftsman!

    It looks like he has no chance without Lasix. He's the only one running without it. I'd love to back the Ripper but it looks foolish....


    I'm backing Twice Over with the L1 ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,134 ✭✭✭boccy23


    [EMAIL="F@>k"]F@>k[/EMAIL] me!! WoW.

    Goldikova is a machine.

    Hope the brothers do indeed keep her in training for a treble in this race.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,961 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    hard to look past conduit imo
    had a small bet on goldikova which wouldve been
    a big bet only for the draw but i doubled
    her with conduit so alls not lost
    also doubled conduit with mastercraftsman but
    to be honest i dont know what to make of
    mastercraftsmans chances


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,893 ✭✭✭allthedoyles


    mastercraftsman unlucky , could not get through on the inside


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,838 ✭✭✭Nulty


    He was unlucky. What was going on with his legs? It looks like he forgot to put his foot down before pushing off!:confused:

    conduit just does it
    double up but i shouldve left
    out mastercraftsman even if he
    was slightly unlucky but only slightly id say
