    One bet for me tomorrow and one bet only.

    Going in big on Saddlers Rock in the 3.45 Goodwood. ( well big enough ;) )

    Been holding onto my beans all week for this fella. Ground will suit better than Ascot and hopefully will continue to quicken, he's getting a bit more weight off Opinion Poll so he will turn that form around.

    Simenon could be the danger, hard to know how much he can improve, but still has to go out and show it.

    I hoping SR will be 2/1 or bigger :D

    Very interesting Slattsy. I think the absolute world of Saddlers Rock and was extremely bullish about his chances in the Ascot Gold Cup where he pulled the arms of Johnny Murtagh for half the race and still did ran an incredible race in my eyes to finish as close as he did but I couldn't be playing at 2/1. Firstly Goodwood's undulating track may not suit at all and I don't think the step back to 2m is ideal either. Last year at Doncaster he was outpaced over 2m2f and although now a 4 year old he shouldn't have that problem its definitely a concern. They went an absolute crawl in the Ascot Gold Cup hence why he pulled so hard which shouldn't happen tomorrow and although I think he is definitely the horse to beat he's a bit too skinny in my eyes at present.

    I fancy colour vision in that Myself slattsy
    The horse doesn't get the credit he deserves
    He won over 2 miles in kempton smashing the course record
    Is better on good ground than was at ascot and is still improving
    I think he will win with at least a length to spare.
    Also fancy lexis boy in the Galway hurdle,I think he will go very close
    Singles and double on them for me

    lexis boy in the Galway hurdle for me too and Also got a Tip for Laganbank in the second at Galway...I think he's favorite though.

    Honestly the Laganbank tip came from my Former Retired Butcher lol who knows the owner.
    Lets just say that he hoards his money normally, so he must be fairly confident.
    But like all races at this weeks Galway festival Don't trust anyone's tips lol On the plus side ..Weld doesn't have a horse running in the Race and it's not rained all morning. Weather was beautiful here up till 10am then got overcast. If it rains it'll be light i'd say.

    Colour Vision has to give Saddlers Rock 4lbs. The prices are right, no bet.


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


    Lost in the Moment is much too big a price though. His two best performances came over 2m and this is only his 3rd go over that distance. Obviously he's second choice of the Godolphin pair but not by the margins in the betting.

    Lost In The Moment each way for me at 9/1

    All the money is for sadlers but I'm sticking with colour vision. I've a lump on shamral nibras, form behind trade commissioner reads ok & represents Hughes/hannon.

    Well Laganbank wasn't in the First 2 :(
    Glibin won and Great Oak second.
    Anyone see the race ? Did he run ?
