    Jezki 7/2 for the Morgiana
    If Faugheen is "faugheen" then its won't get near it, but, with the run earlier in the year, and with faugheen 2 years since last proper run......
    7/2 seems a good price to me

    May be wrong but from what I recall, Jezki also had a good return last season only to achieve little afterwards.

    If he were to win in the Morgiana it'd be a serious statement but also a serious ask.

    Right and wrong
    Jezki did make a winning comeback last year, but this years comeback win was in a few superior race so he looks in better fettle this year

    I think people forget how good a horse Jezki is, and is still a decent age

    "Not performance enhancing drugs"

    "Two of the riders are amaeteurs, while the other has tasted big race success in his homeland"

    This is just a normal story. No one is shocked. Ask any a & e doctor or university campus admin person about what the younger generation are putting into their bodies and the scale of the issue would open your eyes. Their idea of a night out involves mdma or some other crap rather than a few pints in my day . There is a long term impact for that generation but I guess they will figure that out down the road and pay the price

    Sure nobody is shocked but neither would I see this as a "normal" story. I wouldn't go as far as suggesting there's a cocaine epidemic in Irish racing but there is definitely a problem there and while it's all very well throwing the book at jockeys, the turf club needs to be doing a lot more to offer support and implement preventative measures. Its a brutally tough sport with constant demands on weight and that inevitably leads to a greater temptation for substances that can help alleviate the hardships.
