    You only bet small so emptying an already empty clip doesn’t amount to much :)


    Ture, the clip has been empty for a while. I won a few quid on that Fanaar yesterday and stuck the lot on japan (for me a big bet).


    Had a few quid on that yank speedball in the first as well, (paddy power shop near the office).

    If you take an opinion on something. Dont change it because the bookies priced up some special. A lot of the time it is just the traders taking a stand.
    The correct way to play it is to check the Betfair odds which is 2.06x2.42. Which is just under 4/1 with no commision. There is value there.

    That being said it is still a 4/1 shot so it only happens 20% of the time. The problem is people expect these things to be 50:50 chances and when they lose there is a conspiracy that the bookies knew something.

    Went with Exclusivity e/w at 25s in the first, neck second to Good Vibes when giving 4lbs seems like a good marker considering the money down for Galadriel.

    I may prove wrong in time (usually do) but I suspect the derby form will fall apart in time with the exception of the winner who had plenty left at the finish , they finished in a heap behind which is not a good sign. I only just looked at the 3.05 jack Yeats 33/1 the outsider of O Briens thought that would be your pick :).

    one I LIKE in first.


  • Registered Users Posts: 35,683 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    That's a good win off of it's previous win. TO win in such a large field like that is a huge positive, could be a star in the making.

    Aroha each way for me in the first.

    Jesus those Ward yokes have stunk the place out all week. I dont know is it the jockeys or the way the horses are trained. But they literally just run the guts out of them for 4 furlongs and they are dead on their feet for the last furlong or 2.

    Your spot on. They are essentially 4f sprinters. They have them broken in and on the gallops a good 4 -5 months before here. They whip the **** out of them, very few become 3 yr olds.

    Ya i dont bet them. Mainly as i dont really buy into the hype and i definitely dont know anything about them. But id be fairly miffed if i had backed one of them and the jockeys literally had the gun to the head from the minute they left the stalls.

    I guess you know what you are getting if you do follow one.

    Japan a class apart.

    pissed up

    Pretty awful ride from Moore, the horse got him out of trouble there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,963 ✭✭✭TheMilkyPirate


    That's the last time I ever let someone else's opinion change mine. Had a big double (by my standard) on Japan and Hermosa but cashed out after reading the racing post this morning. A fool.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,246 ✭✭✭Mgoraf


    Was hoping he'd be running next week instead of today!

    The ride was standard from Moore this week; settle at the back and hope the cards fall right.

    He kept the horse wide out of trouble and won well. Not sure what the problem was.

    I'm not saying that specific ride was a bad one but it was the same one I've seen all week regardless of the horse. He's been riding strangely.

    Get Moore of those horses two stinkers in a row


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 158 ✭✭jkbkhhho7t


    Get Moore of those horses, two absolute shockers in a row


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,625 ✭✭✭✭Johner


    What did he do wrong there? Horse wasn’t good enough.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,321 ✭✭✭sham69


    Well that's my Moore treble gone :(

    Absolute crap, finding trouble in everything he rides and switching in an out the whole time looking for room


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,963 ✭✭✭TheMilkyPirate


    He did nothing wrong there. If the horse was good enough he gave it every chance to win


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,192 ✭✭✭Mostly Harmless


    If you're blaming Moore for that on Ten Sovereigns then you can only be talking from your pocket

    As much as everyone loves to blame Moore, he's only doing exactly what O'Brien tells him. Would probably be better off if O'Brien stayed away and let the jockeys race as they see it. Better coach than game day manager.
    Or get the likes of Dettori who would just ignore whatever O'Brien says and go do his own thing.
