Surely the jockey is the only thing that can gets this beat?

Went with this today

BumperD

Going with Montaly in the 3:40, trainer is 25% strike rate last 2 weeks and just banged in another at Goodwood just there, while selection has been out of form this season (dropped a few pounds as a consequence) but bagged a group 2 last year, trainer had count octave in here as mentioned in other thread but chose to run it earlier in week in a group 1, you need a group horse for this, drawn 7 near the fav so should get a good tow 25/1 ew GL

15.40 Montaly Montaly is probably the pick of my two in this race as Scotland may struggle in a race of this strength. Montaly has had excuses this year and a return to previous form would see him go well at a big price as I think he is well handicapped.Trainer.

Goodwood 15.15 Absolutely So Absolutely So is in great form and the rain last night will have helped him. He looks very overpriced and he is in such great heart, he has to have a chance at a big price.

Sea the Lion (always hear Feist's 'Sea Lion' tune playing when see this)
a choice on one of the many accas with mighty 7pl available.
Also: Weekender, Dylan', Munt, 'Eagle.

Stratum murdered

Winner won with plenty in hand but sea the lion ran a stormer

Jesus that was impressive off 109.

Auroras_encore

He was an OR 113 horse for all of 2017 but slipped back to 109 which was a huge help to him. IIRC Gosden had big hopes for this fellow in the past.

Fortinbrass was 2nd over C&D last time out, but has better ground here. With 4 to place has a good ew shot.

6 Grade 1’s at Saratoga now , breeders cup clues

Mendelssohn is back. He's on a prep run for a tilt at the Breeders Cup Classic, so it's doubtful he'll be up to much more than challenging to be placed tonight

And I only had the one bet today also in that race.
Warriors Tale @8/1 was a little bigger earlier. We will surely get it between the 3 of us? Ha

kiers47

Will they chuck that out? Not much in it but stranger things have happened. I suppose Elate came in as much as Abel Tasman pushed across her.

kiers47

Result stands after objection from Ortiz. Probably fair.

kiers47

Probably on the best horse there but Mike Smith is different gravy to most in these top races. Must be worth at least 3lbs on the rest of the field.
Not bad for a 53 year old.

BumperD

I’m heading to the BC in November so hopefully a few pointers on the card today

kiers47

This favourite in the next was 2/1 when I was looking at the prices a few hours ago. 1/2 now.

BumperD

Wide draw no help there

kiers47

Indeed some fingers burned.

BumperD

Going to have a small bet on funtastic in next for Chad brown . US racing not my forte by any stretch

BumperD

O Brien has seahenge here, looks completely out of its depth

kiers47

I follow it a bit but only the graded races. And I rarely have a bet. Tbh I was surprised at the price of channel maker. I thought he would be closer to 4/1.

This next race is a poor event for a grade 1 so I wouldn't be entirely shocked if seahenge ran some sort of race.

Don't think I'll bet anything though. Good luck with Funtastic

kiers47

Also note that this is a handicap and seahenge is down the bottom which also helps his cause.

BumperD

All eyes on Good Magic in next

kiers47

Ya should be a good race. I thought Good Magic was plenty short enough. Gronkowski would have been of interest at the prices he was earlier. Think there was 6/1 around.

Wonder Gadot I thought was the overpriced one at about 12/1.

Would be great if Mendelssohn could get back on track.

kiers47

Did a small bet on wonder gadot at 16s

ASOT

Backed Mendelssohn at 12s just in case, I'd kick myself if it one and I wasn't on.

BumperD

I wouldn’t write him off for November but would today given yard form

BumperD

Well he ran a cracker. He’s back

Good Magic died a death 3 out

kiers47

Great run. Ryan tried to knick It from the front. Just outdone by a classy enough horse.

Well outdone, but it was a very decent run by Mendelssohn on his comeback trail..
