I don't care if they all win. I'd rather get a cheese grater on my plums than back one

Worth watching the sire Night of Thunder's first time out 2 year olds. Yielding a very nice profit.

Without Gosden I don't think Dettori would even be a jockey anymore.

True, and Dettori has acknowledged how much JG has helped him, on and off the track.

14 runners today. Pinsticking exercise trying to find a winner.

That said, Hauriz at Newmarket should go close and Nayef road at Newcastle look good chances. Small investment only for me.

Ah I only really follow his first time out 2 year olds. They always know their jobs very well.

All his horses are kept fit and race ready, his race planning is notably erratic and difficult to read, his horses try all manner of trips as well. I know someone who had a share in one with him, he was none the wiser either after a few years of paying for the privilege.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #2968 on:** June 6, 2020, 02:29:23 pm »

Dettori for the boys in blue. Terrebelum won easy there. Could be a nice one this season.

Not entirely sure Mildenberger was asked for everything by his jockey there

I'm always on the lookout for that kind of stuff, didn't notice it there though. Think he asked for a response and didn't really get a great one and just settled for second as he wasn't going to catch him.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #2972 on:** June 6, 2020, 03:05:07 pm »

Gosden's stable are absolutely lighting it up. Ground didn't look ideal for Waldkonig today.

Yeah, ideally Waldkonig would've won by 5 lengths and announced himself as a monster. Just never looked like getting there today.

Not sure he’ll handle Epsom if he found the dip a problem

I couldn't back him for the Derby. He still looks too unfurnished to me and as you say Epsom is a tough track if you don't handle Newmarket too well.

FlashGordon · « **Reply #2977 on:** June 6, 2020, 03:13:55 pm »

Have to agree with both yer takes. Sometimes you'd rather these horses never ran so you could keep thinking of them as monsters

FlashGordon · « **Reply #2978 on:** June 6, 2020, 03:19:15 pm »

There's your Gosden Derby horse

Sounds like he was never heading there according to Gosden he’s a 10f horse

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #2980 on:** June 6, 2020, 03:30:22 pm »

Nervous for Pinatubo here and I've not got a penny on him. Racing needs him to continue being as good as he was last year. My favourite horse for a long time.

RobbieRedman · « **Reply #2981 on:** June 6, 2020, 03:41:41 pm »

Well that was disappointing

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #2982 on:** June 6, 2020, 03:42:31 pm »

A bit deflating. Think he's actually ran a good race, not sure he likes Newmarket much. We didn't actually see him race Kameko, so it's hard to say he hasn't trained on. They'd pulled well clear and he smashed the ones he smashed last season, bar Wichita. A sublime Derby trial from Military March. I'll be getting stuck in to him.

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #2983 on:** June 6, 2020, 03:49:50 pm »

Kameko looks very good. Racing Post Trophy winner (albeit on aw). Presume they’ll go for the Derby though like Roaring Lion he may be better over 10f.
Even though third is not exactly a bad performance it definitely felt disappointing from Pinatubo, just didn’t pick up and go away like he was able to last year. Maybe as mentioned above he doesn’t like Newmarket

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #2984 on:** June 6, 2020, 04:04:46 pm »

Even though the track is riding fast it's the quickest Guineas ever. The first 3 are way, way above average and even Military March will be brilliant over further I think. I reckon we'll look back and see this as a really strong renewal.

Not sure what's going on but the first race was only a second off breaking the track record as well. All these records being broken or nearly broken can't be a coincidence.

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #2986 on:** June 6, 2020, 11:52:59 pm »

The brigadier Gerard at Haydock tomorrow looks a cracking race. Sangarius was very good last time but who knows if he’ll be fully wound up for this and plenty of decent horses to just watch.

Quite fancy Love in the 1000 Guineas but again just watching for now.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #2987 on:** June 7, 2020, 12:00:35 am »

It's a loaded group 3. Telecaster was a horse I really liked after he won the Dante, let's see if he can bounce back.

rebel23 · « **Reply #2988 on:** June 7, 2020, 06:40:52 am »

Today will be brilliant.

I am backing Quadrilateral (NAP) in the 1,000 Guineas quite a large bet but it wont kill me if something else wins. Strongly fancy her though.

And in the same colours of Mr. Abdullah at Haydock 14:40 Sir Michael Stoute runs Sangarius. I will also be backing that.

They will be terrific races whatever happens!

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #2989 on:** June 7, 2020, 09:24:46 am »

Quadrilateral seems easy to back, Love the one I would back if playing, but looks fairly open.

Thought Snow Shower looked interesting in the race before, but again seems easy to back

rebel23 · « **Reply #2990 on:** June 7, 2020, 10:45:50 am »

Duvva that race is a nightmare. Two Gosden and one Stoute, all trainers in form. They will fight it out but God knows which one wins. Will be a watching race for me .

BTW All faces are free to view on Betfair if you have account you dont need to stake anything to watch the races just click live video at post time. Very useful!

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #2992 on:** June 7, 2020, 01:07:06 pm »

The 3 o'clock at Newmarket is interesting. Take a horse like Trefoil, on debut that slammed English King. Could be anything.

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #2993 on:** June 7, 2020, 02:44:38 pm »

Quite disappointing from Sangarius that

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #2994 on:** June 7, 2020, 03:04:47 pm »

This is plain stupid at Newmarket. Once a horse gets to the front it is absolutely impossible to pick them up.

FlashGordon · « **Reply #2995 on:** June 7, 2020, 03:36:37 pm »

Hopefully Quadrilateral wins for you Rebel. I won't have a bet myself but would be on Millisle myself if I was.

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #2996 on:** June 7, 2020, 03:42:03 pm »

Love won that nicely. Quadrilateral wants further but didn’t really settle

She did run well though but not quite good enough.

I’d say she’d have a better chance in the Oaks if she settles, might get a decent price now too
