What happened Jered? Was he well beat? I was waiting on him for a nice treble. Sick!

Just couldnt go by Finnegans Wake-In fairness Russell gave it a great ride.Jered should come on for the run. A length in it. Missed Takestan

Anybody see the 1st at Haydock? Graham Lee has an awful lot to answer for.Don't like blaming jockeys cos I never sat on a horse in my life but he fucked up big time on the Favourite.

no, but I do bet too much at times for my own liking.... not quite an addict! I have a good network of contacts in the racing world in both the UK and Ireland but there is alot of chit chat and loose talk which turns into "info" but turns out to be shite, difficult to pick out the good stuff all the time although its been good this past 3/4 weeks, tide always turns at some point

Just back from Punchestown around a half an hour ago. I couldn't get over how small Jered was in the paddock so I didn't bother backing him in the end. It was no surprise to see him getting beat and I wouldn't lay any blame at McCoy's door. The horse simply had to expend too much energy getting over his fences because of his size and there was nothing left in the tank when McCoy went for him.

The novice hurdle turned into an absolute farce. The lack of pace played right into Sweeps Hill's hands. Some Present is bred to get further so I would expect him to turn that form around given a proper pace. I doubt either horse will get Dunguib off the bridle this year anyway. Shinrock Paddy hardly looked like a Supreme Novices contender either.

Always a great day when Ollie Brady has a winner though. He had the crowd eating out of his hand as usual.

First installment on the flat as most from Godolphin's yard are fancied

2:10 Lingfield
EW Baila Me @ 4/1

EW Russian Empress @ 20/1 (Fallon factor)
3:10
SIROCCO BREEZE @ 7/4 (is fancied alot)
4:10 Lingfield

e/w treble on Dettori should prove profitable today

sammymaguire · October 29, 2009, 02:19:11 PM

Gobejolly should also be worth a couple of quid Newc 2.30

Boo, it was the 20th anniversary of all-weather racing in the UK not frankie's 20th year! still some achievement to pick up 4 winners in a day

Oak Leafer · October 30, 2009, 01:10:53 PM

Well Sammy...any picks today??!!

sammymaguire · October 30, 2009, 01:19:21 PM

I could not get on in time for Asraab but I was told this thing was in with a major shout in the first race of the day, 6/4 bit short in a 16 runner race though. But was also told there were some doubts over Quick Wit

and it just won...

6:20 Wolverhampton
May Parkin @ 9/5
6:50 Wolverhampton
Red Suede Shoes @ 3/1

should be a good e/w double (thats all for now)

Emerson Breeze, Avanti Albert and Way West all @ Dundalk later, g/l if you have a go...

sammymaguire · October 31, 2009, 11:16:55 AM

bad day yesterday compounded by Daryl Byrne falling off Emerson Breeze in the last at Dundalk last night when travelling well with 2 furlongs to go

1:05 Ayr
Well Deal Again @ 7/2
1:50 Ascot
Gone To Lunch @ 14/1
2:40 Naas
River Liane
2:55 Wetherby
Tamarinbleu @ 9/4
3:00 Ascot
Micheal Flips @ 5/2
3:10 Newmarket
Thrill @ 5/1
3:15 Naas
Silver Jaro @ 11/1

only been told that Thrill will run well in a competitive affair at Newmarket, all others are fancies that should run good races

Donnellys Hollow · October 31, 2009, 01:24:49 PM

Looking at the market for the next at Naas, O'Grady must have Tranquil Sea back to his best. Could be well in in receipt of weight all round. Worth a few bob methinks.
