lumping on him

I looked through both Galway and Goodwood's cards and I could back 50 horses today. Indeed I've put on 3 30p ew Lucky 15s and have backed against myself.

Bet 1
Galway 4.10 Campbonnais
Galway 6.00 Beauthea
Goodwood 4.55 Shamander
Goodwood 5.30 Miss Diagnosis

Bet 2
Goodwood 2.00 Liberate
Goodwood 3.45 Whiplash Willie
Galway 3.35 Memories of Milan
Galway 5.25 Bahrain Storm

Bet 3
Goodwood 2.00 Bow to No One
Goodwood 3.45 Arch Fire
Galway 4.55 Lutine Bell
Galway 4.10 Abbey Glen

Bet 4
CANFORD CLIFFS! With heart, head and pocket!

That leaves Chandlery ( Goodwood 2.35) out who I would normally back but he has a tough race. Royal Reveille was another I considered in the 3.35 at Galway as well as Spirit of Adjisa in the 2.00 at Goodwood.

I'll see how things are shaping up. Later I also like Valencha in the 5.30 at Goodwood and Intyre Trail in the 6.00 at Galway.

In the big one Blazing Tempo, Majestic Concorde and Wise Old Owl have all had their fair share of tipsters.

Best of luck to all having a bet

This may count as after-timing but I had a great day out there. Two winners in Goodwood + one big win at the track + glorious weather = Just getting up now :pac:


Galway
3.00 - Laganbank (win)
4.10 - Abbey Glen (win)
5.25 - Bahrain Storm (e/w)

Haven't really looked at Goodwood but think Canford will do it.

As I put up on the Horse Racing forum:

I have had a small bet on Dancing Tornado in the plate, I know he doesn't win as often as he should but I'm hoping things go right for him today. Remember he was 1 of only 2 horses to finish in front of Gold Cup hero Long Run (albeit receiving a lot of weight)

Currently 14/1

That' actually a nice e/w as paddy powers are paying five places. it should at least place and I've always had a soft spot for that horse, think ill trow a small e/w on as well.

Fingers crossed on Canford Cliffs. C'mon baby!

almat1981

anyone any opinion on backing anything but frankel or canford cliffs, in the 3:10 the odds are huge , my head says no way but anything can happen just wondering if anyone has backed anything but frankel or cannford.

UrbanSea

Just the one bet for me.

Hoopy each way in the 4.10 at Galway at 20/1.

CRUSHED CANFORD CLIFFS

UrbanSea

He absolutely hammered them.

almat1981

Some ride thought it would be much closer myself. cannford had no response at all.

UrbanSea

He couldn't even get close to him. Look at the way he finished. Look at how short and tired Canford's strides were. Frankel could have gone full pelt for another furlong I'd say.

Hughes waited on Queallys every move then tried to respond,
Bad tactic it turned out, But then again who could respond to that
turn of foot,
INCREDIBLE

UrbanSea

Richard Hannon blaming the race track.
That mug on Channel 4 put words into his mouth.

''Well he beat Dubawi Gold about the same at Newmarket and you wouldn't put him in the same league as Canford''.

LOL

1 winner, 1 3rd and 3 2nds so far = a very frustratin day
I should probably back e/w more often, but I staked €40 and got back €40.50 (not includin the Gary O Brien tip that won) so I guess it could of been much worse.

1 horse left but I'm not very hopeful, it's been that kinda day.
