That's it, you sit on the fence.

Seriously though, watching initially I had no problem with the result and haven't seen a reply but the reporting suggests that Jacqueline Quest drifted off a straight line and carried Special Duty with her.

She drifted massively in fairness - the question is if Special Duty had been allowed to run straight would she have won?

IMO yes - she didn't drift by herself she was carried over by Jacqueline Quest. Gutted for JQ's owner Noel Martin as he really is one of lifes proper good blokes, especially after what he's been through in his life.

Nurture - up there on the far side but results show that you needed to race on the stands side and Jim didn't seem to think that.

Reve De Nuit - no idea why James Doyle was riding him handy but he's normally held up which he should have been today. Wouldn't give up on him at 12f but a drop in grade would help.

... and now on St Helens -14 @ 10/11.

Thought the Guineas was a terrible spectacle and Newmarket racecourse should be held accountable for that. It was clearly evident that after not even half of the race that about 70% of the field didn't have a hope in hell of winning it.

Surely that can't be right for a classic.

The draw also did me on another I strongly fancied...Genki...managed to sneak into 4th for the place money but ran a belter considering the draw and is certainly one to follow this season!

Three out of three - off out on the ale now. Sweet.

Stand side a lot quicker than the middle/far side of the track. Honimiere ran a career best to run Strawberrydaquiri close when racing solo in the Dahlia.

Then in the 1000 Guineas seven came stand side and the rest raced up the middle. The first four came down the stand side.

Curragh 3.15

Famous 9/2 betfair

Carried alot of money last time out @ 2/1 but didn't show up, O'Brien's horses have been hit and miss so far hopefully it needed that run and the right Famous turns up today


5.15.

Gone for a couple in this flat race.

Massyoun 20/1 E/W now into 12/1

Found nothing after coming to the front along side Tetlam over 1m5f last time I think the step up to 2m will suit it, going off a low weight I think it will be in the mix but question will be does it find something this time.

Sheer Genius 10/1 E/W

8th in the Champion Bumper if coming out of that race well should have a good chance here, a couple of horses who finished just infront have come out and won since the race, tricky race though with the likes of Mullins, Weld and Henderson having runners in this.

Good Luck Wire85 - O'Briens definitely coming on for the run thus far this year.

Keep an eye on the winner of the 2yo Maiden at The Curragh - O'Brien's won it for the past two years (ie/ since it's been run over 6f instead of 7) with Mastercraftsman and Alfred Nobel.

elegant dancer .4.20 . beverley 5/1

Little more on Famous as its on the drift now.

Park Avenue @ 9/2 in the first at Curragh

Hopefully Murtagh and O'Brien have a good day.

Dubai Crest 12/1 E/W
