Its Saturday!

A few large field races tomorrow including the John Smith's Scottish Stewards' Cup, John Smith's Silver Cup Stakes and er John Smith's Cup (Heritage Handicap series) so plenty of opportunities for a decent priced winner or two. Obviously the going is going to be an issue with soft even heavy conditions.

Looking at

14.25 Crankentorp (again!)
15.00 Area Fifty One

14.40 Excellent Guest N/R
15.50 Lyric Ace

19.15 Fast Shot

3.35 York Caledonia Lady 8/1
4.45 York Orsippus 9/2

I like Strong Suit in the July Cup at 11/1. A top 7f horse who likes soft ground, it's well worth taking a chance at the price on him being back to form and being suited by the all out 6f pace of the sprinters.

EDIT : Confirmed runner this morning by Richard Hannon Jnr although he's now only 8/1.

Strong Suit wants top of the ground and would expect him to be a non runner tomorrow if ground is soft.

kryogen

I like Olympic Glory in the 2.10 @ Newmarket, the only question is how he handles the ground

Want to see what you have to say about Orsippus Rossom.

Fancy him myself.

You're dead right, I was confusing his ground preference with that of Hannons other 7f Specialist Paco Boy who retired years ago.:o

andyman

Right, going to make a proper legit attempt at a tip.

1:40 Newmarket - Chapter Seven @ 12/1

I reckon this horse could have a big say in the opener at Newmarket tomorrow. He last won at Doncaster off a mark of 88 and the going was soft on that occasion as well. Form on soft ground is quite good and off a mark of 92 and with Paul Hanagan taking the mount for the first time I think he's worth a gamble each way.

4.20 Newbury - Qaraaba 3/1

Still think there is more in the tank, held up near rear last time and left with way too much to do.

The N/Rs list is pretty big now - the Newmarket 15.55 is a 3 horse race as I type.

The O'Briens horses are running at the moment i couldn't touch them with your money!

For me today i'll be having a little bet on:
Ortensia 3.20
Sohar 5.05
Media Hype 3.00
Prohibit 3.35
Hawridge Star 5.30

An each way lucky 31 for a bit of interest for the day and a nice €90,000 if they come in!

carpothepunk

Newmarket course running 20 seconds below standard.

unitedrover

Mayson-nothing worse than seeing a horse you've followed all year winning at a price and not a penny on him.

MoscowFlyer

Body and Soul pulled me out of a hole today, Qaraaba could put me ahead!

MoscowFlyer

Qaraaba looked awfully tired. Wouldn't be surprised if that was her last outing of the year or at least for a few months.

rubbish day all round, anyone think Eye Of The Tiger 17:05 Newmarket might be worth a punt with so many withdrawals?

im going to fire some dosh at STAR DATE 11/1, well down in the weights and will like the ground, luke morris takes the ride EW value I think,

also going to have a few bob on SOHAR around 20s,

it is also possible that I have taken 2 out of the race for you.

Was anyone watching Jamie Spencer on Treaure Beach in the Man Of War at Belmont half an hour ago? Out the back off a very slow pace which resembled a crawl. Utterly clueless jockey.

(I didn't have a bet on him so I'm not talking through my pocket)

mailburner

wouldnt have mattered where he had him positioned
no jockey would have won on him
he didnt run his race at all but saying that it wasnt a
very good ride either

I agree with everything you say but it seems to me that Spencer only has one way of riding and that's hanging out the back whether the pace is slow or fast. He did the same with Fame And Glory in the Ascot Gold Cup. He hasn't got a riding brain in his head.

I really thought i was going to collect when the first 2 won. still made a profit with the double so not too bad. i dont think treasure beach was 100% it was a bit too bad to be true. but thats horse racing.
The only thing that i cant figure out though is, any time i do a trixie and get 2 winners its always the shortest price horse that gets beat.
