    **Adding a bet in the Queen Mary

    Staked: 11 points

    With the conditions turning a bit sticky. Have added another 1 point win on Crystal Ocean still at 4/1.

    Total staked today: 12

    In the 3.05 I think Dashing Willoughby will improve again up another 2f. I don't think the race was ran right for him when he finished close 3rd behind Norway at Chester. He set quite a slow gallop from the start. This will be a much different race now and probably will be a more staying test. Norway probably has his measure but at 10/1 he is worth a few pound.

    Delighted with this :D Norway's run too bad to be true there

    Haggas has pulled Seniority from the Hunt Cup. Given that (Seniority) is the Queen of England's horse he obviously is ok with running Sea of class on the ground.

    He is going for it. I think 4/1 is a nice price, she is a cracking filly.

    Just interviewed at the saddling enclosure there, " nervous " but " we need to get a run into her " " she is a racehorse" .

    You have to admire the Japanese horse, I love the name. Can you imagine shouting " hon Deirdre , gwan Deirdre , get up Deirdre"

    Haggas sounding like Sea of Class has no chance.

    Won't get any points for originality but I'll take Magical. A good few of the horses who have won or been close in that Tattersalls Gold Cup have won or been shd 2nd in this race. Easy to say she didn't beat a whole lot there but she hacked up. Back in 2012 So You Think won that race by 6L and followed up in this.

    I think Magical will handle the ground okay, she seems versatile that way having ran so well in the Breeders Cup

    I would not touch Sea of Class after his comments. Wasnt going to anyway. Dont think theyll give her a hard race here and coming from the back as is her style aint gonna happen under these circumstances

    His interview put me off the horse. Sounded really uncomfortable with even running the horse because of the rain.

    Joan Collins on the Champagne there. I have to admit she is a bit like marmite etc.

    I definitely would though. She gets a nod on the " Wudja " scale.

    I am a bad bad man.

    Backed Hand on Heart 50's e/w 4 places. She is an improving filly and didn't get the rub of the green last time behind an in form rival. She's still lightly raced and could outrun her odds

    He said it himself before the race 'she's a racehorse I have to get a run into her'

    And she stayed on well from the back certainly wouldn't call her a non trier. Pocket talk.

    He's so hungry to win and seems to be reading many races to perfection.

    That was a really top class race with the first three rated well into the 120s, even with the rain making things messy it was solid form. The winner looks like he could be a Ulysses this year. Couldn't necessarily see any of the field winning the Arc ( though I'm very soft on Magical for the Arc and Found had plenty of defeats on the way there ) but the top three are good enough to place in it and Sea Of Class can be excused today's run.

    Need to find a 3yo who could put it up to them in the Arc, not an easy task.

    The man put up the winner of one race, that's good enough for me. Next time you back a winner, treat yourself to a sense of humour.
