don't really rate last season's 2yos, and upto now, this looks a p1sspoor 2000g. Read the other day, that Montjeu has sired 100+ 3yos to race at a mile or less, on that strength alone, Camelot is a must LAY. Took a chance earlier in the week on Abtaal at 9/1, reckon that Prix Djebel is the best guide, and Abtaal was certainly not knocked about.

Meandre is a lay in the gr2, does'nt win 1st time out and wants faster ground.
This Temple Meads in the Palace House at 14s. Did'nt race last year, but anywhere near his best and he should take this. Priced on his 8th in the Middle Park where his saddle, behind Strong Suit and Dream Ahead.

Temple Meads @ 14/1.

Montjeu has sired 100+ 3yos to race at a mile or less,

Done Ajaan ew at 25/1 in the Chester Cup. Shoite draw and too old but I daren't not back it.

late bet on uriah heep.


heep of more like...

i hate this flat .

Off to Ascot today, Anyone fancy anything on the card??

york today

Hoof it
Tatilsu
Tartiflette

well after watching the duke of york i bet peter moody will be in two minds whether to send black caviar over (not).

no bets today but was very pleased with the fugue, obviously. didnt feel the need to back her today as it was very close to her last run in the guineas where she took a clout, wasnt ideal ground for her and importantly sometimes a trial can be a glorified prep run.

will finally get to see bonfire tomorrow. mandean is very interesting though, good form in france and MAZ is a very good trainer. ernest hemingway is yet another derby contender from the AOB team so will be informative to see how he goes, he has no form to go on as he's only raced once and didnt break sweat.

the middleton doesnt stand out like it did last year 'midday 11/10 = charge!!!'.

probably no more bets tomorrow either, been a bit quiet of late.

My picks for York today would beEDIT

Sajjhaa e/w 5/1 she looked to have a bit to find with Izzi Top but could prove another piece of e/w thievery as she goes well at the track and also goes well first time out, she won a listed race here last season and also ran the top class Midday close in this race 12 months back. Timepiece is a bit overrated IMO, her Falmouth win stands in isolation from most of her other form and that may just have been the day it all went right for her. Set To Music will need to step up again to win this, and I'm a Dreamer is very consistent and should run well if race fit.

Pearl Secret should win this. Frank surely can't get the best horse in the race boxed in against 5 opponents over 5f. David Barron has been waxing lyrical about this one and had a group one entry during the summer. Only negative is that there are a few fillies in the race, any of them in season and this rascal may forget what he's there for would want to see them go to the start and see how he looks before backing a Spencer odds-on shot.

no bets for me today either..though i was impressed with fencing in the guineas and gosdens horses going well

new decade at salisbury was tempting me too but left it

tomorrow will be having a bet though

cant even play sajjhaa place market with much confidence.

she'll either be first, second, or nearer last. can't see dettori riding her out for third, or will ease her down if she's not in contention.

bugger it taken sajjhaa to place
