Got a real serious case of Seconditis at the moment, you wouldn't believe how many of my horses over the last 3 or 4 days have finished second. It really is a joke.

I’m good at that game

Found out you can actually back horses to finish second with Coral. Bet they’d start winning then though

[Fed up with getting razors for chrimbo]

free 5er bet on paddy power for ascot

also will hill special, up to a tenner on any irish horse to be in the top three on day 1 in any race, evens (from 1/100)

[Crouch Potato]

Also Sky Bet has, money back as cash up to a tenner if your horse loses in the 2:30 tomorrow.

I see Oddschecker want's to charge £10 a month. nahh.
ATR site not bad if you want to go elsewhere.

It's the odds comparisons, you're only allowed so many free checks now. AFAIK, it only started today. easy enough to find other alternatives for Racing, ATR +Racing post show the prices, will have to check out other sites for football and other sports

I’ve started to get this regularly on days I use Oddschecker a lot now

Actually forgot to post. Happened to me recently too when I was going through American racing.
Must get a free hit at a specific number of markets before the message appears.

Thought that was a nice performance by the Aussie horse. Despite being in the smaller group that was behind, she was good enough to move across, latch onto the leaders and win going away

[Gerry Attrick]

Rosallion! I just love him. BEAST.

He’s very good, didn’t see the race, Notable Speech not at his best?

Never landed a blow. 5th run already this year so may he’s just gone flat, or maybe he was just more race fit than better horses in the Guineas. We’ll see in the fullness of time but he was already ripping fit whereas Rosallion and CoT were first time out at Newmarket.

Both good points, could be the explanation.

Not confident enough for the prediction comp but going to have a bet on Miss Lamai in the Queen Mary after hearing Karl Burke talk about her on Sky Sports Racing. He said she’s worked very well with Teej A who beat the Coventry winner last time.

Love Kassaya’s pedigree and she’s been well backed now, just think 5f looks like it should be too short even now

Edit: been absolutely smashed now was 10/1 this morning

[Gerry Attrick]

Leovanni had drifted like a barge today but won really well there. Miss Lamai ran well too to finish 4th.

[Luvva bevvy on Chrimbo day]

Anyone think Lordan on Highbury didn’t try quite as hard as he might after he switched

[Crouch Potato]

Had Highbury myself and can see what you mean, but i think no matter how hard he pushed he wouldn't have caught Illinois.

[1892tillforever]

Auguste Rodin can gtf. Can't bloody predict that horse. Didn't fancy him at all today. Bet on Zarakem which didn't help my mood.

[Luvva bevvy on Chrimbo day]

You can mark that up massively. Even more interference than her last run, but when she gets daylight, she’s gone

Not convinced Lordan did everything possible to be honest on his horse. Fairy Godmother should not have won that race. One to watch for sure.

Wasn’t watching Lorden this time, had my head in my hands thinking FG was beaten. If Fairy Godmother had a clear run she’d have won by a furlong

[Crouch Potato]

Agreed, she showed an amazing turn of speed to get up there.

[Gerry Attrick]

Fairy Godmother looks spectacular. I do like Night Of Thunder as a sire. He can produce some very, very good ones.

[1892tillforever]

I thought Moore was diabolical on Diego. Went out way too fast.

[Luvva bevvy on Chrimbo day]

Have you mixed him up with one of their other runners? He was on the rail in mid division all the way round then found absolutely nothing. The other 3 went to the front. Think Chief Little Rock was the one who went too fast maybe

Yes 😂

I'm watching in the pub with footy on so struggling to hear anything 😀

Lordan was on Chief btw.

Reminds me of back home. There's this compulsive horse racing gambler who often cheers on the wrong horse.

[Gerry Attrick]

I absolutely love Haatem. What a beautiful little horse. Ultra consistent in big races. He deserved his pot today. Can’t believe he was 7/2 in a field without Rosallion.

Incredible.

Not sure what she beat there but that was mightily impressive. Ryan Moore's face after the line told the story, a puff of the cheeks with a little smile.

[Gerry Attrick]

Bedtime Story looks like a useful enough recruit. By Frankel and out of Mecca’s Angel. Scrubbed quite a way and didn’t immediately pick up but when the penny dropped really came home well and beat another well bred O’Brien horse out of Newspaperofrecord. Some incredible pedigrees in that race.

I mentioned her after her debut. Can’t say I saw her doing that next time out though. Breathtakingly good.

[Luvva bevvy on Chrimbo day]

Which way you leaning in the Irish Derby tomorrow Gerry. Matsuri or AF?

[Gerry Attrick]

I think Ambiente Friendly will win. Am a bit scared of Los Angeles though as I think they’ll ride him as if he’s a seriously good horse. Matsuri could be anything. I reckon he might’ve been a bit happier with more dig in the ground though and his form at Leicester is open to serious question. Fox Legacy, the one in second that day got beat a mile in an egg and spoon handicap at Thirsk the next day.

Like you I think AF should win if he can repeat his effort from last time, but it feels like O’Brien has a habit of 1-2-3s in this

Ezeliya retired. Shame thought she may have a good chance at the Arc

The Eclipse is far from a stellar cast today. City of Troy should be winning if he is the superstar they think

[Gerry Attrick]

City Of Troy should win doing handstands. See The Fire could run well to be second.

[1892tillforever]

Not overly impressive but did the job.

[Gerry Attrick]

Think White Birch would’ve beat him.

[Luvva bevvy on Chrimbo day]

Yep he’s certainly not their Frankel as they described him. They’ve had better. Although it seems a little harsh to crab a derby & Eclipse winner.
Perhaps the dirt will bring out his best given his pedigree. Think he’d be better at 4 as well but we won’t get to find out

He's a very good horse but when you're making Frankel comparisons, good doesn't cut it.

Looking forward to a couple of days at the July Festival this Friday & Saturday. Hoping for better luck than last year - had a mare.
I generally do a lot better at the Rowley Mile but I’ve had a few good days at the July course.

I’ve got a couple of bets rolling onto Inisherin and also took 12/1 on him a while back when he won at Haydock so really hoping he does the business. Most worried about River Tiber as Ballydoyle have plenty of form for turning a Guineas loss into a July Cup win.

Horrendous news coming out of Hertfordshire. BBC horse racing commentator John Hunt's wife and 2 daughters have been murdered in their home by a man with a crossbow. Just incomprehensible news.

May they rest in peace.

Been watching this story develop. Just seen that it’s the family of John Hunt.

Horrific for anyone but that’s devastating news, poor John, how do you even attempt to get past that.
