think its obvious now so you think is a good horse but not a great one, the racing media love to hype up such horses.
looking back now, the expectation a lot of people had before royal ascot was that as soon as ryan moore pushed the button he'd of been away and won eased down by 5 lengths, when that defeat proved that (despite what o'brien said after the race) he had probably indeed ran his race that day. proves that the world cup race is a joke though, if monterosso wins a 10f group one in either england or france i'll eat as many hats as i can get.

speaking of hype, i got suckered in by an article on the rp and got a little bit greedy tonight - all for a paltry 6.60. had a tenner on union rags (was antepost kentucky derby favourite) and leparoux gave the horse a stinker. he's actually held his hand up and admitted he got it wrong, which is a change. espn.go.com/horse-racing/triplec ... 1-fl-derby

never mind, still up by a nice sum for the day so pleased in that respect. feel like a bit of a mug for betting on american racing though, when i pay very little attention to it apart from what is on the RP website and other mainstream racing media. horse should've won though tbf - can't really give myself too much stick for backing the horse as the jockey cost him the race, he dropped it out too far away from the pace and the front runner did them all up. no idea why though, as last time he was fairly prominent and told the horse to go a lot farther out and smashed the lot of them.

side glance looks a good thing tomorrow, although this will probably just be a pipeopener. cant take him at evens, no way. was a beaten favourite on his reappearance last year and faces a couple of genuine performers in st moritz and the gosden horse. not willing to take a chance on him first time up, if the main rivals are ready to rock and roll he may not be able to get away with needing the run.
