Think so mate (KP). Made a bad mistake jumping, but wasn't going to win anyway, not with Don Poli in the race.

Oh well.
It's true to say that if Shankly had told us to invade Poland we'd be queuing up 10 deep all the way from Anfield to the Pier Head.

With Kings Palace, I don't think the horse was good enough. Course form, but in small fields and bullying lower class horses.

The Irish are dominating the grade 1's so far. Vautour looks a shoe in tomorrow.

Like the look of Lieutenant Colonel in the World Hurdle too.

Yeah, even with the jumping mistake it was never getting near the winner.  It certainly isnt a bad enough horse on paper to be out of the places though.  The jumping mistakes ruined it.

What do you think about Mr Mole in the next?    Have him in a 4 fold, had 2 winners and 1 placed so far.

I have done, don't know why, but just don't fancy Sprinter, having seen a few negatives about it's health.

e/w on Mr Mole at 13/2.

Sire De Grugy will be back, Sprinter Sacre won't be. For all he achieved, it's still a case of 'what could have been'.

He's finished, sad to see.

Special Tiara placed at a big price and its after timing but I had to back Dodging Bullets considering how much money I stood to win if Sprinter Sacre won. Doesn't match it anywhere close but recoups the bets I had on the double and singles.

Same here. 

Worked out that my best chance of making money is not to bet on the horses i've picked in the tipster comp, and just listen to someone who know's about horses.  Just about even today thanks to Ruby.

Willie Mullins was on the radio earlier and he thought Bordini in the last was his best of the day, may have a nibble at that.

It will probably mean nothing but my Dad's just came home from work and popped to put a bet on on the way home and said some fella has just put £500 EW on Supasundae in the 5.15 today. He said he only knew because he had to wait for the bet to be cleared from the trading team as it was a big stake.


Don't feel obliged, but just sharing it.

I was close to cashing out my Sprinter stake and going on Dodging Bullets after hearing Ruby and also seeing Henderson's utter lack of confidence. Obviously I didn't like a right bell  ::)

Went e/w on Sire Collonges in the next. Just warning you guys so you can swerve  :P
