Afternoon all, anyone betting on this today?

Reckon Fota Island is looking handy today as is Strangley Brown for a cheeky e/w in the 3.10. Nuthin serious yet.

No in the 3:10 today would have to go for Faasel not great odds in to 11/4 at the minute... fingers crossed though

I like the look of Montifault in the 3.45. I just hope that all these races go the way the form book tells them too, maybe then we can win some money.

I think it could be a good day for favourite backers with Rule Supreme, Grey Abbey, Faasel and Mephisto all oblidging. I'm not too keen on Fota Island, has a big weights hike and is running on totally different ground and course today so I think he's worth opposing.

I wouldn't touch the 3:45, had a quick glance at it and thought to myself, where do I start!

fade2black

That's exactly why I looked at it. lol In my experience though, all the days where we think the favourites will oblige...well it turns out to be the opposite and a bit of a graveyard.

fade2black

Oh dear oh dear.

Jaysus... That's the last time EVER that I back Rule Supreme!

fade2black

I think he would have definitely won. Very unlucky. (P.S. Will BBC get their sound sorted, sounds very unprofessional)

Tomorrow at 3.10. Only 6 horses in the race. Will be great to watch.

Yup, if Moscow Flyer gets round and gets beat tomorrow I'll go out and put money on the conclave in the Sistine chapel making me the next pope, because it's more likely.

Three wins today, Katarino, Faasel and Grey Abbey, but doubt that the luck can continue...GA set a proper pace today, as G Lee seemed more willing to trust the horse. It was obvious at Cheltenham the leg problems he'd had and the fast ground made him wary of going on a full pace, so those looking for a strong pace (Cel Gold, S Flow, etc) were screwed. Good to see him win. But if he couldn't beat a horse who was passed it when he won it for the first time several years ago and has run like a donkey all year (F Gold) and a horse having his first run over English fences (C d'Ainay), when wasn't he going to win? If he'd gone that fast at Cheltenham, he's have been second.

Also, I'm chuffed to bits for Nicky Richards, as most of his father's leading owners dumped on him from a great height when the old man died and he was due some luck. Pity the ground's drying up, as Jazz d'Estruval would have sleuced up in the noicie chase tomorrow otherwise (having contemptously tossed Sun Alliance winner Trabolgan away with the garbage at Haydock) and given him and Mons Dobbin an unsurmountable fourth winner.
