Quiet weekend so I said I'd have a beer before going back to work

Theakston Old Peculiar. Nice enough English ale. Not yer typical hoppy pale ale but solid enough with loads of taste. If you like the likes of London Pride you might like it, bit darker & probably more flavour

Colonel Sanders · 19-05-2013 08:21PM

was at a 40th down in Mount Merrion last night. Had the car with me so only had one. Beers mats were Carlow Brewing Company so got excited. Turned out Smithwicks Pale Ale the extent of their wares. Not terribly awful but the hops equivalent of when Homer said the chilli was suitable for patients recovering from surgery!

Enke was one of the horses that tested positive for banned substance, does that mean camelot did the triple crown last year?

jimjamcos · 20-05-2013 11:54PM

Well lads, been a good few days on the betting front with Farhh and Sting's Protestant doing the business today. Just threw €15 on a 4 horse antepost accumulator to run over the next month...putting it up here so, God forbid, if it actually won I wouldn't be crucified for aftertiming while I celebrate! :P

Temple Stakes: Sole Power; A nk 2nd in this last year to Bated Breath. Broke race record LTO and faces some of the same horses again. Obviously, luck is needed with draw and in running. Maarek (if soft) and Pearl Secret obvious dangers. Sole Power is an ultra-consistent Group 1 sprinter however, and will set the standard against rivals with it all to prove against his like on Saturday. 7/2

Derby: Dawn Approach; Won't be backing this lad in a single come the day as at his price, and my stakes, it wouldn't be worth it. Slight doubts over stamina but with each trial he's looked a more and more likely winner. Will probably go against him ew come the day but for this type of bet he's perfect as a very likely winner. Evens

Queen Anne: Animal Kingdom; I firmly believe that this lad is the best miler in the world after Wise Dan (and maybe even better!). Ran a cracker in Breeders Cup Mile despite it being his first run since Feb 2012 - flying home late to pass Excelebration easily and claim a fine 2nd behind Wise Dan. He then gave another outstanding display most recently at the Dubai World Cup, putting his rivals to bed in a matter of strides. The 2l distance between himself and 2nd Red Cadeaux does little justice to the style in which he won. As much as I love Farhh after the weekend, the placings showed how poor a race it was. He's a proper Group 1 horse but I'd be fairly confident they'll send him to Prince of Wales where himself and Cirrus Des Aigles will rip Camelot a new one! 3/1

King Stand Stakes: Shea Shea; Going against an ole favourite in Sole Power but Shea Shea comefortably had his measure both times the met in Dubai recently. The South African is the best sprinter in the World IMO and he'll prove it in King Stand if turning up on form. 11/4

€15 fourfold returns €2025 with Boyles

This is lovely tack. I am actually not mad on the London Pride, though.

Are you over in Bawston yet, Urban?

Great post.

Should it not get it's own thread so people can add ideas for upcoming races ?

Jim, in what order do you fancy / rate these yokes, starting with your most likely winner first ?

Mocha Joe · 21-05-2013 10:24AM

Xilerator looks a decent ew punt at 5.30 Newcastle.

Very risky, I just couldn't bring myself to do that bet. Animal Kingdom could very well swerve the Queen Anne and opt for the Prince of Wales, that happens and you bet is gone. Best of luck anyways.
