Somebody should have told Ruby H.F. isn't running, making him look a bit silly.

My rundown for the day:

Montbazon EW
Sprinter Sacre
Tullamore Dew EW
Hurricane Fly
A New Story EW
Quevega
Triolo d'Alene

I am waiting on H.F. and Quevega for a good treble.

My other antepost:
Darlan 13/2 win
Tullamore Dew 18/1 EW
Triolo a'Alene 7/1 win

I have went off Darlan to Montbazon from going on what the stable is saying.

[Mikhail Prokhorov]

Rumours rife that all is not well with the Fly... May not run tomorrow I have heard...

sammy tryin to move the exchange himself 

[ardchieftain]

1.30 Montbazon  [have steps to freedom ante post]
2.05 Al Ferof [money back on paddypower if fav wins]
2.40 Fruity ORooney ew
3.20 Hurricane Fly
4.00 Scotsirish
4.40 Quevega

If Hurricane Fly and Quevega lose my festival could be over on the first day

[boojangles]

Yes yes I heard that too Sammy. I think I may ring RTE and BBC. Quevega has a cough too. The markets need to know this news.

[Atticus_Finch]

For what it's worth, my picks for tomorrow:

13.30 - Tetlami
2.05   - Sprinter Sacre
2.40  - Hold on Julio
3.20  - Rock on Ruby E/W (NAP)
4.00 - Sizing Australia
4.40 - Quevega
5.15 - That'll Do E/W

Boylesports are doing a tipster one on their Facebook, a fantasy stable type thing.

[winsamsoon]

Good man . Paddy Power offering free match bet to the stake of £20 place a mobile bet on the supreme novice tommorrow and get a free matched bet for wednesdays racing

[Donnellys Hollow]

1:30 Tetlami/Distant Memories (both e/w antepost)

2:05 No bet - want to take the favourite on but the opposition isn't up to much, would give Menorah a squeak with a good round of fencing

2:40 Baile Anrai e/w

3:20 Hurricane Fly (antepost)

4:00 Scotsirish (e/w antepost)

4:40 Quevega (antepost)

5:15 Carrickboy e/w - would be very wary of the Henderson hotpot and may have a saver depending on market strength

[ludermor]

Thought id join this craic
1:30 Prospect Wells EW ( steps to freedom win)
2:05 Srpinter Sacre as part of a decent treble that everyone else has
2:40 Hold on Julio and Tullamore Dew EW
3:20 Rock On Ruby EW
4:00 A New Story EW
4:40 Kentford Grey Lady EW
5:15 Vino Griego EW
