Sunday 7 August

Grp 1 sprint in France and a Grp 3 in the Curragh.

Old favourite GLB runs in France, is in fine fettle, good draw and will handle the soft going. Must have a squeak against this lot?

Air Farce Blue being backed tomorrow . I couldn't have him so there must be an opportunity to take him on

Have backed 2 tomorrow in the handicaps at the curragh. Chillie Billie looks gd value at 20s down below last winning mark. Like the Flynn horse in the last who looks decent value at 14s also looks well handicapped n a 7lb claimed on board. 1 pt win both n half point double

No excuses for Air Force Blue with a small enough field on Sunday. I thought he was a little bit unlucky in the July Cup - he wouldn't have won, but he would have finished a bit closer to Limato if he hadn't been squeezed. If he can't beat this lot, he deserves to be retired. Willing to give him another chance on fast ground against poor enough opposition, and a change of jockey might be a novelty for him.

Fancy Odit 2-45 at downpatrick 13-2 must just say been impressed with the way Danny Mullins gives a horse every chance in my opinion going to be a very talented jockey

I'm giving Air Force Blue another chance too.

Also like Rubys only ride for his father in Downpatrick Sam King.

And Davys only ride there too, Mr Smith.

Have put them into a Trixie.

Going to head down with family. Should be good.

Nutters backing Air Force Blue at that price.

Wicklow Brave

Yucatan in the Curragh maiden. Some pedigree.

Wouldn't back Air Force Blue to beat the Ambulance!

Clearly not the horse he was and we've no idea what he's like in a battle given he won his races easily on class last year.

BumperD

Looks like the money is down on total demolition in the last at the curragh

I wonder will Mr Smith be in winning form today :P

Nasty fall in the Maurice De Gheest. That Jimmy Two Times (Fabre) is some divil . Might keep an eye on him in the future.

Lt Dan

Probably has not much hope but.. Lynam's horse in the Group 3

Lt Dan

Rotten luck in France, the Hong Kong lads take their horse to France ,first runner there, and now the horse,Gold Fun,is dead .

No bet in this race, but had fancied Lynam's horse. But that was depressing to watch a nice horse like that absolutely bombing out, not even in contention.

Can anyone explain how a horse can be so good at 2 - is it a case of developing quicker? Burinto who bet Air Force Blue at Ascot has disappointed too. Use to seeing Hannon 2 year olds do well in Spring and little thereafter?

Is there an injury or just the body is not up to it to even be competitive ?

He's lucky the ambulance was eased down. 😊

I renamed him first

Harry Angstrom

Feck it, that was bad.

PM me nudes

He'll be off shagging some mares now, no doubt

Lt Dan

And to think some people were starting to compare him to a certain well known champion 2,3 and 4 year old. Racing Post had offered it's new subscribers a years worth of their paper for free if AFB won the Guineas (they must have thought that was a safe bet)

Ended up cashing out enough to break even before that race after reading the opinion here, absolute muck. bullet dodged anyway.

Good day out. Kids enjoyed it. Very impressed with Caravaggio again. Sad to see what's become of air force blue. I dont think we will see him again

2 maiden hurdles today. I fancy 2, Bomber Jackson, been running reasonably well in maiden hurdles finishing out his races well before disappointing in a handicap last time at Galway, back in a maiden hurdle and I'd expect to see him ridden more positively today and could be hard beat. The other is zuberi, arguably the best of these on the flat and has his first hurdle start here in a first time tongue tie, trainer usually has his hurdlers well schooled and I can see him running well, big drift an obvious concern but if he's on a goer I can see him running very well.

Of course poor zuberi goes and falls then.
