Hope ya were on? It was a local trainer from Cavan who trains it.TBH I was gonna say to do a double on both his runners tonight but didnt. His other runner Royal Intruder won the 650 at 11/2. Would have been a nice double.

Right lads, I don't bet on horses too often, but I stuck a few quid each way on this one because it was payday

What happens with my bet - is that counted as a non runner? Don't want to look like a tool going in asking in the bookies

You'll get refunded. Horse wasn't under starters orders.

I see most firms have priced up St Nicholas Abbey at 9/4 for the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster next Saturday. I think that price is an absolute gift from the gods and the horse will go off odds on. I've already tipped this horse up for next year's Derby when he was freely available at double figure odds (see page 180).

The Dewhurst proved yet again that the English 2yo colts are muck this year and I've a feeling that Ballydoyle will clean up in the classics next year. I'm more of a NH man myself but I'm very happy to have antepost slips on both Steinbeck (2000 Guineas) and St Nicholas Abbey (Epsom Derby) facing into the winter. There'll be no Sea The Stars standing in Aidan's way next year no matter how much money Sheikh Mohammed throws at Jim Bolger and Kevin Prendergast for their 2yos!

He looks an absolute machine. Showed an incredible turn of foot for a Montjeu off a slow gallop over a mile. What price for the triple crown next year?!
