State Opera in the next.

perhaps not.

Plenty of money for it but even more very late for that winner, mine just aint helping themselves today Formosina had lost the race after leaving the stall

Cafe Elektric - Epsom - surely I can get the winner of a 2 runner race & Prescott yard on fire
Seta - Newmarket
China Rock - Gowran - with Ruby Walsh in the saddle he has bits of form in the book in these circumstances to suggest he can beat the fave
Emerald Commander - Longchamp - looked high class at two, has had his problems since but will love the ground and has as much chance as any others

in my first lucky 15, not too confident about anything today due to the ground so just doing two lucky 15s. One totalling 13.50 and another one for around 2.00.
Changed to Seta from Music Show. She has always been well thought of, Cumani and Fallon are a pair of wily old foxes and I get the impression they are a bit sweeter on her chances today than they are letting on.

Second L15
Elliptical in the Cambridgeshire runs off a nice mark and recent form looks good
Kingsfort - Redcar - class act in the race depends if he's race fit/wound up
Codemaster - Redcar - watch this one go if it gets headway has looked very fast
Poet - Longchamp - will love the ground and in an open race he could grind them all down going for home


EDIT - bloody picked the wrong one at Epsom didn't I. Never mind.

Rainfall to make up for that disappointment?

I might have said this before ... Can't work Johnston's horses out ... They hardly ever win if I back them.

Finally a winner

Got money back off China Rock, just over a tenner down (one winner double bonus) so put the fiver I got back on Saints to win tonight, no handicap.

Johnston couldn't lie straight in a bed. You often have to catch a horse of his when it has been aimed at a certain race, i.e. Sea Lord this year, even though it may not look obvious at the time.

He can be a frustrating man to work out at times, but does send out the winners.

Cunningham 11/4 favourite for Harry Sunderland trophy yet Wigan are 4 points favourite. Money to be made there.

Iver Bridge Lad beaten by a head and Music Show costs my 26/1 place acca

Cavalryman now short as 16/1 I got 50/1 on Monday

wears first time visor.

Lady Of The Desert 9/2 in the Abbaye.

Just taken Stacelita @ 9/4 in the 4.35 has the best ratings and also good form on heavy ground.

La Foret looks a pretty open race so gone for Special Duty at a pretty massive 14/1 at E/W huge price for a 1,000 Guineas winner here and in France this year.

Sky are going 4 places on the Arc and Abbaye.

I fancy Duncan tomorrow.

The old man (coach driver) is there so give us some tips for him to get on on course!

Tip from me is to keep his pockets tight in these conditions of lottery ground.

Or Cape Blanco FWIW, up to him

One of the very few runners who actually wants it as soft as possible.


Done Tin Horse @ 7/1 E/W in the 1.45 at Longchamp stayed on well over 6f last time to grab 2nd behind Dream Ahead so should think the step up to 7f will suit.

Rock Noir @ 2.62 Huntingdon 5.20

Chasing debut for the J P McManus horse was very good over hurdles in France beating the 160 rated Jumbo Rio is best rated of these over hurdles an gets weight.

My Arc bets are on the other page also got Lady of the Desert @ 9/2

RP is free online again if you fancy a good read.

hughes gets 7 day ban



appealing though... bet he gets it overturned!

wooten bassett and fame and glory

5/1 and 6/1

e/w double

Big double is on brearley well in

Wootton Bassett looks a good un Brits are taking over in France!

ha we shall see!

wooton bassett so impressive again, only realised it was running this morn... then saw the price


they underestimated him...won easily over here in good races.

Didn't have a bet on the Arc as it was very wide open.

Workforce would have ranked high on my list though. Sir Michael Stoute is a genius.

GET IN

Sarafina 3rd as well

well done workforce showing his derby form again... good jockey too shame it hurts him to smile!

need alot of luck in running in that race though especially if your stuck in on the rail !

Harbinger would've smashed the lot of them IMHO.

Played Workforce. Shame it took nigh on an hour to collect!
