He has one for tomorrow in sligo. I am sure he will post as always once he gets on himself.

noticed that Albert Moriarty has 3 runners today at Cork (two of them potentially well handicapped), which is significant with only having 7 or 8 in his yard.

Give Me A Break, 7.40, ticks some of the boxes.

Must read thread more carefully.

I was asking about the stable in the Tuesday thread. Yard seem to be going poorly but with such a small string hard to tell. His runners are really well hadicapped though. Think I will pull the trigger on 1 tonight.

Prince Jock but would give the otherone a squeek as well. Ground could be a problem for Cape Explorer though.

Peintre Celebre · 04-08-2015 07:11PM

Placere loves bad ground and ran a really nice run over too short at Leopardstown last time returning from a break, keeping on really well late on. She's very well handicapped and is worth a good bet in the 7.00 at Sligo tomorrow 7/1

Anyone else having problems with the normal streaming sites? Can't get volume on them and says to disable add block, fcuked if im doing that.

the groutch · 04-08-2015 09:34PM

Cape Explorer is definitely going in the tracker, if he hadn't fluffed the start he'd have gone very close.

For those that can 7/1 still available on choral, shorter everywhere else including exch which is 11/2.

I love a horse that can accelerate twice or more in a race rather than one long burst. Peintre Célèbre, Sea the Stars and Treve could do, along with many more. They can find their way out of trouble when others will get checked and never get back into a race.

Absolutely love the little burst by STS in the Arc, just as he looked pinned in on the rail Mick gave him a squeeze and whoosh in three strides he took 2 lengths out of the horses around him, still get goosebumps watching it.

That lovely feeling when you know you are collecting 4 figures and hoping the straight forecast and straight tricast come in too to bump you much nearer the five figures ****ing Cavalry****ingman

STS move was electric in that Arc, so too was Treves in her prep run for the first arc with Frankie getting her boxed in, think it was the prix Diane

my own favourite is El Gran Senor in 1984 2000 Guineas,
first he quickened to close the gap on the leader Lear Fan and the way he went away from a class horse like Chief Singer was impressive , Despite being allowed to cruise home in the last half furlong he put 3 lengths into the second.
Probably the best quality top 4 finishers I can remember in the Guineas ever.

Good to see someone is waiting for the right time so like myself, in my tracker a long time now.

El Gran Senor was my favourite too. Couldn't believe it at the time when Secreto beat him.

If we are talking fillys and blistering exceleration then Zarkava Vermeille has to be in there, was very sweet on her for the Arc after her Diane but couldn't get odds anywhere, can't believe I was able to fill my boots at 7/1 after her Vermille.

The Vermille starts at 9:23 with her having a long long think about jumping out, when it gets to 9:41 thats her in the white noseband at the back of the field, Dar Re Mi is already rolling and at least 6L up when Soumillion moves Zarkava out, absolutely majestic the way she sluices down the outside and arrives in enough time for Soumillion to drop the hands and let her cruise the last 50.

What do people think of Smoker's chances tomorrow in the last at Lingers? A return to AW at a low grade and a big price looks like it will be just the ticket to me.

Hasnt shown much since switching yards but as you say the AW might be better for him. Best watched IMO. I thought RAKAAN looks well hcapped in that race having won over C&D in march off 70 and is off 60 tomorrow.

I was wondering about the chances of JEMBATT 8.15 myself whose down to 47 and with Smullen onboard. Hoping PC may have some thoughts on his chances

Peintre Celebre · 06-08-2015 10:32PM

I was actually considering Smoker to be my only bet tomorrow but I'm not quite decided might chance a score just in case he came in. Think Jembatt wants good ground but he is really well handicapped. Think he should win soon, but tomorrow still looks a hot race for the grade

Nonoperational · 06-08-2015 11:26PM

We really deserve a win out of Jembatt.

Nonoperational · 07-08-2015 11:47PM

Placed again. Difficult to see him landing a touch now. That night he got hampered was the night I think.

Peintre Celebre · 08-08-2015 05:24PM

Possibly the best thing ever recorded

Oh the Juddamonte has just got hot with Gleneagles set to turn up against the Horn. Could be sensational!

Don,t get me wrong i think Golden Horn is top top class, but would love to see Gleneagles wipe the smile off that obnoxious [EMAIL="b@*^ard"]b@*^ard[/EMAIL] Dettori,s face.He,s insinuating he always knew how good Golden Horn was when he picked Jack Hobbs in the Dante.Gobsh1te.

Peintre Celebre · 12-08-2015 11:12AM

Shukhov in the second last at Gowran tonight looks a Choo Choo. 7/1

PM me nudes · 13-08-2015 03:33PM

Andy McNamara retiring at the weekend

Peintre Celebre · 13-08-2015 04:42PM

Don't mind backing a loser but when the race is won by the one horse you didn't want to win because you're waiting on him that's a real kick. Had a good bet on Raydara at 11/2 to beat Cougar Mountain tonight. Price well gone
